Serves 4-6
INGREDIENTS:
  • 8 oz pad Thai rice noodles
  • Marinade
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 cups), sliced horizontally
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced asparagus
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, white parts and green parts separated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • Sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 lime, cut into 4-8 wedges, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl of boiling hot water, add noodles and soak until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine fish sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, curry paste, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Add chicken and let marinate, about 15 minutes.

In a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat, add oil. Add chicken, discarding marinade, and cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add shallot, asparagus, bell pepper, and white parts of green onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Move vegetables from center of pan, add egg and cook, stirring often, until set, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, marinade, and noodles to pan and cook until chicken registers 165° on an instant-read thermometer. Add half of bean sprouts and half of peanuts and toss to combine.

Place noodle mixture on a serving platter. Sprinkle with green parts of green onion, remaining bean sprouts, peanuts, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
