Here’s another Thai recipe my sister shared me. I tried it myself and I must say, it didn’t disappoint. I didn’t expect something so flavorful could be so easy to cook!

Ingredients:

1/2 chicken breast (cut into thin slices)
3 tbsp oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg, beaten
1/2 packet Thai noodles, soaked and drained
2 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
1/4 tsp chili powder
2 spring onions, sliced 1 inch long
250g fresh beansprouts
2 tbsp roasted peanuts, chopped
fresh coriander
4 tbsp water

Procedure:

In a wok or frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the beaten egg, cooking for less than a minute, then remove from the pan.

Add 2 tbsp oil and garlic and cook until brown. Add chicken, stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes then add tomato sauce, chili powder, oyster sauce, sugar, fish sauce, water, noodles and stir well.

Next, add the spring onions, peanuts and cooked egg. Stir to mix well. Finally, add the beansprouts. Once cooked, garnish with fresh coriander and serve.

Happy cooking!

    I can never get my pad thai noodles just right. It’s always too mushy. I’m glad your turned out great. Any secret tips or tricks?

    Thanks, Gaga! Mine was mushy too. It just wasn’t obvious in the photo. I think what ruined the noodles is that I mistakenly soaked them in close-to-boiling water. The packet said “hot” water only.

  3. Meg says:

    It’s probably a good idea to only soak the noodles until they’re firm rather than completely soft and then immerse them in cold or even icy water when you’re done too.

  4. Raquel says:

    Thanks, Meg. I’ll try that out soon!
