minutesIngredients
1 pound pad Thai wide flat rice noodles (dried)
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
4 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
2 chiles, sliced
1 pinch dried chili flakes
1 Onion, Diced
1 pound chicken thighs, skin removed, sliced into 1/3- by 5-inch strips
1 tablespoon Shaosing rice wine
4 1/4 ounces mangteout (snow peas), julienne
2 Romano red peppers, julienne
1 medium Carrot, Julienned
2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
2 tablespoons low-sodium light soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce mixed with 1 teaspoon brown sugar
3 scallions, sliced on a sharp 45-degree diagonal
Directions
- Cook the noodles to packet instructions. Drain and refresh under cold water, drizzle 1 tablespoon peanut oil over, mixing well to stop the noodles from sticking, and set aside.
- Heat a wok over high heat and add the remaining peanut oil. Add the garlic, chiles, chili flakes and onions and stir-fry for a few seconds to release their aroma. Add the chicken thighs and stir for 2 minutes. As the chicken starts to turn brown at the edges and turn opaque, add the Shaosing rice wine.
- Add the mangetout, Romano peppers and carrots and toss together and stir well for 2 minutes. Add the noodles and toss well for 1 minute, and then season with the oyster sauce, soy sauce and fish sauce with sugar; toss well for 1 minute. Garnish with the scallions and serve immediately.
