The Best Easy Homemade Pad Thai Recipe

Step 1

Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Preheat 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.

Step 4

Add 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. Use a pasta sever to scoop the noodle mixture from the skillet and into shallow bowls (or onto plates).

Step 5

Top with desired toppings and adjust spice level with Sriracha.
