Chicken Pad Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at casual local eateries in Thailand. Pad Thai sauce can be made ahead of time (and can be doubled, or even tripled) to make prep faster.

Pad Thai

1Cook noodles according to package direction. Rinse and set aside in a colander.

2Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Add chicken breast and cook until browned and mostly cooked through. Push the chicken over to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten egg into the skillet in the space you’ve created and use your cooking spatula to scramble the egg in the skillet. Add the shrimp and keep cooking for about another minute.

3Add the noodles to the skillet and then pour the sauce over the noodles. You might want to reduce the heat a little at this point to more like medium-low. The mixture will be saucy at first but let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. The noodles and proteins will soak up the sauce and it will thicken. Stir the bean sprouts in once everything has thickened and remove from heat. Serve in bowls.

4Top with desired toppings and adjust spice level with Sriracha.
