Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak the broad rice noodles in warm water for 30 minutes, then drain well.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, ketchup, and chili flakes to create the Pad Thai sauce.
  3. Slice the boneless chicken breast into thin strips.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
  6. Add the remaining oil to the wok and saut the chopped garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  8. Add the drained rice noodles and the prepared sauce to the wok. Toss everything together, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender and coated in sauce.
  9. Return the cooked chicken to the wok and toss to combine.
  10. Serve immediately, topped with diced eggs, bean sprouts, slivered green onions, and toasted peanuts.
