Pad Thai is a classic Thai dish that is both easy to make and incredibly delicious. This version with chicken is perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner at home. Everything you need – sauce, rice noodles, tamarind and palm sugar – is gathered in our pad thai collection.
Ingredients
- 250 g dried rice noodles
- 300 g chicken fillet, cut into small pieces
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 onions, cut into strips
- 1 bell pepper, cut into strips
- 150 g beans or broccoli
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp tamarind paste (see Asian sauces) or lime juice
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp palm sugar (see our sugar range) or sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Chili to taste
- Peanuts and fresh cilantro for garnish
Method
Step 1: Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Fry the chicken until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: In the same pan, fry the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the onions, bell pepper and beans. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Push the vegetables to the side of the pan. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and stir until cooked. Mix with the vegetables.
Step 5: Add the cooked noodles and the chicken back to the pan. Mix the tamarind paste, fish sauce and sugar in a small bowl and pour over the noodles. Toss everything together until well combined.
Step 6: Season with chili and, if you like, more fish sauce or lime juice to taste.
