How to Make Shrimp Or Chicken Pad Thai
- Soak 8 oz dried rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes until softened but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup thinly sliced purple onion. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) or 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces). Cook for 5-7 minutes, until pink and cooked through.
- Add the drained noodles to the wok.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate, and 1/4 cup water. Pour the mixture over the noodles.
- Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is almost completely absorbed and the noodles are coated.
- Slowly pour in 2 large beaten eggs, stirring constantly to create a light scramble.
- Remove from heat.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup bean sprouts, and 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
