Joe’s Fusion Chicken Pad Thai
My partner and I had a craving for pad Thai, so we browsed through a few recipes and crafted our own version. It's not your traditional pad Thai, hence the unique name we've given it!
Ingredients
- 1-pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (16 ounce) package pad Thai rice noodles
- ½ cup fresh bean sprouts
- 2 cups beef broth
- ½ cup chopped green onion
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Season chicken with salt and black pepper; set aside.
- Whisk sugar, cayenne pepper, white wine vinegar, fish sauce, and peanut butter together in a bowl.
- Coat the inside of a large skillet or wok with olive oil and place over high heat.
- Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil just until the meat is white outside but still pink inside, about 3 minutes.
- Remove chicken and set aside in a bowl.
- Lower the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Cook and stir garlic in the skillet until it becomes translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Cook and stir eggs into garlic until loosely cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour peanut sauce into the garlic and eggs and stir to combine. Bring sauce to a simmer.
- Stir rice noodles into the boiling water. Cook until noodles are still slightly tough, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the noodles.
- Return chicken to the skillet with eggs and sauce. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, stirring frequently, 5 to 8 more minutes.
- Stir bean sprouts, rice noodles. and beef broth into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until noodles are tender and most of the broth has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with green onions to serve.
