Ingredients
For the Pad Thai:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large red bell pepper coarsely chopped
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small pieces
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 11 ounces flat rice noodles
- 3/4 cup unsalted peanuts coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil divided
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
Instructions
- Preheat large pot, Dutch oven or deep skillet on medium-high heat and add a bit of oil to coat. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, add to the pot and cook until scrambled, stirring and breaking them into pieces constantly. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Add a bit more oil and add bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring just a few times and allowing to char. Transfer to a bowl with eggs.
- Add a bit more oil and add chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring once, and allowing to brown.
- While chicken is cooking, in a small bowl combine soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, fish sauce and sriracha. Whisk and set aside.
- To the pot with chicken, add chicken broth and remaining oil, then bring to a boil. Add noodles nests on top, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir the noodles, add the sauce and cook for 2 more minutes or until noodles are ready, while covered.
- Turn off heat and add previously cooked eggs and bell pepper, peanuts and cilantro. Gently stir and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. You might have to adjust consistency with more broth when reheating.
- Freeze: Noodles and vegetables don't freeze well, so I don't recommend to do so.
