Chicken and prawn pad Thai

Step 1

Cook noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

For the pad Thai sauce, heat oil in a wok over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and chilli, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the sugar, tamarind, fish sauce, soy sauce and 2 tbs water, and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until reduced slightly. Transfer to a small heatproof bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Wipe wok clean and add oil. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Push chicken to one side of wok and add prawn to empty side. Cook, turning halfway, for 2-3 minutes or until pink and just cooked through. Push prawn to one side with chicken and add egg to empty side. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until just set.

Step 4

Add bean sprouts, garlic chives, cooked noodles and pad Thai sauce, and cook, tossing together, for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.

Step 5

Divide between bowls and serve immediately, sprinkled with roasted peanuts and with lime wedges on side.
