Homemade Chicken Pad Thai
Ingredients of Homemade Chicken Pad Thai :
2 Chicken breast – sliced
2 tbs Tamarind sauce
1 tbs Oyster sauce
2 tbs Fish sauce
2 tbs Peanut butter
1 tbs Honey
180 gram Dry rice noodle (preferably thicker size)
400ml Water
3 tbs Coconut oil
3 Spring onion
6 Baby sweetcorn – sliced lengthways
50 gram Mangetout or beansprouts – trimmed
1/4 Red pepper – sliced
3 clove Garlic – chopped
2 Eggs – beaten
1 tsp Chilli flakes or paprika (optional)
1/4 Lemon or lime
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Ground black pepper
1 tsp Dark soy sauce
Method
– Mix the tamarind sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, honey and peanut butter in a bowl. This is your cooking sauce to be added later.
– Heat half of the prepared chopped garlic (that’s 1 1/2 cloves) and mix with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
– Add the chicken, salt, pepper and dark soy sauce into the same pan. Stir fry until the chicken is cooked. Transfer the chicken onto a separate plate. Return the same pan back on the hob (no need to wash this pan).
– Turn the hob to a high heat, then add the rest of the garlic, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, dry noodles and 200ml of water. Once the noodles become slightly softened, add 1 tablespoon of the cooking sauce. Mix the noodles and sauce together, then add another 100ml of water and 1 tablespoon of the cooking sauce.
– Add the last part of the water, sauce, baby sweetcorn, mangetout and red pepper. Keep stirring until all the ingredients bind together. Push the ingredients to one side of the pan and add 1 tbs of the coconut oil then the beaten egg.
-Wait until the egg is cooked. Then stir all the ingredients together. The noodles should be nice and soft.
– Lastly, put in the spring onion, chilli flakes and chicken into the pan, mix it all together. Squeeze the lemon juice on top.
– That’s is it… your very own Homemade Chicken Pad Thai. Enjoy!
Tips:
-Serve with Chicory, raw beansprouts and crushed peanuts for extra crunchiness.
-Use a tong or fork whilst stirring to make sure that your noodles separate nicely.
