Pad Thai made from scratch!
Ingredients
CHICKEN, EGG AND VEGETABLE PAD THAI
- 200g rice-stick noodles
- 550g chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer leaves removed, finely diced
- 1 kaffir lime leaf, tough central stem removed, very finely sliced
- 2 spring onions, sliced 2cm (white and green part separated)
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks or grated
- 1 baby bok choy, stalk and leaves finely sliced
- 2 handfuls mung bean sprouts
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked with a pinch of salt
PAD THAI SAUCE
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 1/2 tablespoons mild sweet chilli sauce
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
TO SERVE
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped coriander leaves and stalks (optional, adults)
Steps
-
a full kettle to the boil.
-
Place noodles in a large heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stir, cover and soak for 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to help prevent noodles sticking together and use kitchen scissors to cut noodles in a few places to make them easier to eat.
-
In a small bowl, combine all Pad Thai sauce ingredients and set aside.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels, season with salt and cut into thin strips. Heat oil in a wok or large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Fry chicken, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf and spring onions (white part) for 2–3 minutes. Add carrots and continue cooking for a further 1 minute.
-
Add bok choy, cooked noodles, spring onions (green part), mung bean sprouts and sauce to wok/pan with chicken and veggies. Stir-fry, tossing often, for a further 3–4 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
-
Remove chicken and vegetable Pad Thai from pan and place on a large serving plate. Return pan to heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook eggs for 1–2 minutes or until set as an omelette. Remove from pan and cut into strips.
-
divide chicken and vegetable Pad Thai between plates and top with egg and coriander (if using).
