    How to make chicken pad Thai?

    1. Prepare the noodles- According to the box instructions and keep aside.
    2. Saute chicken- Until golden brown.
    3. Add shallots, ginger, garlic- Mix until fragrant.
    4. Add red peppers, green peppers, broccoli, carrots- Stir fry for 1 minute.
    5. Push everything to one side- Add the egg and scramble it. Then, mix it with the other mixture.
    6. Add the tamarind concentrate, fish sauce, oyster sauce, red chilli sauce, brown sugar, crushed red chillies- Mix everything together.
    7. Add the boiled noodles- Mix everything together.
    8. Enjoy- Garnish peanuts, cilantro and limes.

    What sides to serve with chicken pad Thai recipe?

    This dish is complete in and of itself, but if you want to add a few sides, then try this fresh and bright Asian Cucumber Salad Recipe (One Bowl) or Cucumber Onion Salad (One Bowl). If you prefer a warm vegetable, then add Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas Recipe (One Pot), or Sauteed Green Beans (One Pot).

    Soup is another great way to start this meal. Carrot Ginger Soup (One Pot) or Egg Drop Soup (One Pot) would make the perfect addition.

    Variations

    Make it spicy- Increase the red chili flakes, or add a stronger pepper like Serrano peppers.

    Add vegetables- Such as sugar snap peas, green beans, or mushrooms.

    Add other proteins- Such as shrimp, crab, beef, scallops.

    Make it vegetarian- Use tofu instead of chicken, and skip the egg.

    Vary the garnish- Top with a different nut such as cashews if peanuts are an issue. Add a drizzle of sriracha for a little spice.

    Use a different noodle- It will no longer be a traditional recipe, but if you prefer a different noodle type then feel free to us it instead.

    Tips and Techniques

    Use fresh ginger and garlic- This makes such a huge difference in the flavor as opposed to using powders.

    Use a non-stick pot- To prevent the ingredients from sticking and burning

    Adjust the amount of sauce- Add more or less depending on your preference.

    Thinly slice the vegetables- This allows you to get more flavor in one bite, and creates a cohesive texture alongside the noodles.

    Adjust the amount of Tamarind Concentrate- Use less if you do not want it too tangy.

    Spray the noodles with oil- This is optional, but will keep them from sticking together, while you prep the other part of the dish.

    Adjust the amount of vegetables- Add more or less based on your personal preference.

    Do not overcook the noodles- They will become mushy and very unpleasant in texture.

    Storage

    Refrigerate- In a sealed container for up to 2 days

    Freeze- I don't recommend freezing leftovers because the texture of the noddles deteriorates and becomes "mushy" as it thaws.

    Reheat- In the microwave or on the stovetop.
