So I've been pretty obsessed with Thai food lately I don't know why, because I've always liked it but lately I can't shovel enough of that stuff in my mouth. So I decided I better find a recipe so I can make it at home to satisfy my craving (no Mom, I'm not pregnant).
Ingredients:
- chicken breast (Or Tofu if vegetarian)
- 1-2 tbsp. peanut oil (must be peanut oil!)
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3.5 tbsp lime juice
- 4 tbsp. Siracha
- 4 tbsp. fish sauce (3-4 tablespoons light soy for vegetarians)
- 2/3 of a package of Thai noodles (called Banh Pho)
- 6 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2/3 c. green onions
- 1/3 c. white onion
- 1 c.
- 1 tbsp. corn starch
- 1 tbsp. sesame oil
- 3 eggs
- a splash of milk
- 1/2 package of bean sprouts
- a sprinkle of garlic powder
- (optional) red cabbage for garnish
How To Cook It:
- in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk and a sprinkle of garlic powder
- dice up the green and white onions
- in a wok or non-stick pan, scramble the eggs using peanut oil until they start to brown, set aside in a small bowl
- cut up the chicken breast into approx. 1 inch cubes, place them in a bowl and add the sesame oil and corn starch, toss until the chicken is well coated
- in another small bowl, combine the red chili powder, paprika, lime juice, Siracha, and brown sugar, whisk ingredients together into a nice sauce and set aside
- chop up peanuts and set aside
- boil the noodles for only about 2-4 minutes or they will disintegrate, set aside
- in the same wok or non stick pan used to scramble the eggs, add some more peanut oil and cook the chicken
- once the chicken is cooked, add the onions, eggs, making sure to coat everything evenly in the peanut oil
- add the cooked noodles and make sure they get a good coating of peanut oil
- add the Siracha mixture to the wok/non stick pan and toss until everything is evenly coated, it should now start to look like Pad Thai
- once everything is evenly coated add the bean sprouts, toss again, and let simmer for a couple minutes
- finally add half the peanuts and toss again
- serve with a garnish of peanuts (and red cabbage like shown in the picture)
