Why I Love This Recipe

One thing I love about our new neighborhood is the close proximity we are to asian markets. There is a thriving neighborhood called "Argyle" that is home to many Vietnamese and Thai Chicagoans. I'm in heaven while grocery shopping within the Argyle neighborhood... because so many of the asian ingredients I use can be found at much better prices here.

While shopping in Argyle, I decided to make some Pad Thai. Making pad thai sauce from scratch is often a lengthy process involving lots of ingredients to get the perfect sweet and spicy flavors reminicent of traditional pad thai. So while shopping in the asian markets, I found a pre-made pad thai sauce that looked promising. With it, I made chicken pad thai.

Here is my cheater's recipe for Chicken Pad Thai:


Ingredients You'll Need

1 bottle pre-made pad thai sauce
1/2 package of bahn pho noodles (small or medium width)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 large onion, sliced
1/4 cup carrots, sliced in matchsticks
1-2 boiled chicken breasts, chopped
1 block tofu, diced
2 eggs, cooked & scrambled
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 stalks green onion, sliced
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
crushed peanuts
lime wedges


Directions

In a pot, boil water and add rice noodles. Cook noodles until softened; drain & set aside.


In a large pan, add oil and prepare scrambled eggs. Remove from pan; set aside.


In same pan, add oil. Add garlic, onions and sliced carrots. When softened, add cooked chicken.


Add entire bottle of sauce; stir to coat. Add tofu; stir to coat. Add cooked noodles & scrambled eggs.


To serve, plate noodles and top with cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts, peanuts and lime.
