Easy Chicken Pad Thai Without Tamarind Recipes

Steps:

• Soak rice noodles in a bowl of water for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and tamarind paste in a bowl. Whisk well and set aside.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add tofu. Cook chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes.
• Add garlic and shrimp paste to the wok and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes, then add fish sauce mixture and drained noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Push noodles to one side of the wok. Crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble until firm, about 3 minutes. Stir into the noodles. Serve with peanuts, bean sprouts, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the sugar, pepper, tamarind, Sriracha, fish sauce and chicken broth. Whisk until sugar has dissolved and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine sliced chicken, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 3 tablespoons low-sodium tamari. Toss to coat and set off to the side.
• Heat a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is at a full boil, drop in the noodles, stir and turn off the heat. Allow the noodles to soak for 5 to 8 minutes or until soft but still firm in the center. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile heat a large wok or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the olive oil and garlic. Stir-fry for one minute before add the chicken in an even layer (working in batches if necessary). Cook for 5 minutes before flipping and cooking for 5 more minutes or until fully cooked. Add in the light green onion slices, cook for 30 seconds before adding the noodles, bean sprouts and sauce. Pour in the slurry and use two wooden spoons or spatulas to toss the ingredients together. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and noodles are perfectly tender.
• Serve immediately topping with the remaining dark green onion slices, torn cilantro, chopped peanuts, a squeeze of fresh lime and extra sriracha if you like it spicy!
