How to make Pad Thai with Bok Choy

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 20

(serves 8):
1-454gm (16 oz.) package of rice noodles (linguine-width)
4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
MARINADE for chicken:
3 teaspoons of corn starch mixed with 1/2 cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 fresh red chilies, minced (optional)HEAT
1/2 cup fresh coriander/cilantro (optional)
3 cups fresh bean sprouts
8 green onions, sliced
3/4 cup peanuts, roughly chopped
slices of lime
1/2 cup vegetable stock
oil for cooking
Pad Thai SAUCE:
3 tablespoons lemon juice (the original recipe called for tamarind paste, but I couldn't find any so I used lemon juice)
6 tablespoons fish sauce (this is the magic ingredient that makes it taste like Thai food and is available in most grocery stores)
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed chili pepper flakes (HEAT)
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken pieces for at least one hour.
  • Soak the noodles in warm water for 30 minutes or until they are soft enough to be eaten, but still a little crunchy.
  • Mix together the pad Thai sauce and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan or wok and cook the garlic (and chilies if using) for about 30 seconds. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Add 1-2 tablespoons of chicken stock at a time as needed to keep the cooking chicken moist.
  • Add the noodles to the cooked chicken and pour the pad Thai sauce over it. Using two utensils stir the noodle mixture like you are tossing a salad for 1-2 minutes. Add more oil or chicken stock as needed to keep it moist.
  • Add the bean sprouts (and 1 more tablespoon of fish sauce if desired) and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Serve the pad Thai with fresh coriander, chopped green onions, chopped nuts, and a slice of lime.
  • I stir fried some bok choy with onion and garlic and a little fish sauce.
  • They tasted great with the pad Thai. It needed some veggies! Not pictured
  • because not authentic. Enjoy!
