Prepare the noodles, according to the box instructions and keep aside.

While the noodles were boiling, make the Pad Thai sauce. In a mixing bowl, add the tamarind concentrate, fish sauce, oyster sauce, red chilli sauce, brown sugar, crushed red chillies and mix everything together. Keep aside.

In a wok or deep non-stick skillet, heat some oil on medium high heat and add the chicken pieces, salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until golden brown.

Add shallots, ginger, garlic and mix until fragrant.

Add red peppers, green peppers, broccoli, carrots and stir fry for a few minutes.

In the same wok, push everything on one side and in the remaining space, add the egg and scramble it. Mix it with the rest of the chicken and vegetables.

Add the boiled noodles and pour the sauce on top. Mix everything together and let it cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens. DO NOT OVER-COOK or you will end up with a mushy mess.

Squeeze half of a lime on top of the noddles and add more fish sauce if you like. Mix everything together.

Garnish with peanuts, cilantro and limes. Enjoy!

WOW! This is one of the best chicken recipes with rice I tried so far
i tried the recipe exactly and the results was perfect, My partner loves this too.

OK, I made this with 2/3 c tamarind concentrate, and the dish was a dark black mess. Nothing like the photo on this page. Also too sour to eat. So what brand of tamarind concentrate are you using?

These spicy pork noodles are gloriously savory, chewy and delicious, with perfectly crisp cabbage and plenty of sauce. And they're so quick to make!

Spicy Pork and Cabbage Noodles

dry ramen noodles

canola oil oil

pork

yellow onion, sliced

green cabbage or Napa cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces

garlic, minced

tamari or soy sauce

doubanjiang* (substitutions in notes)

mirin

brown sugar

sesame oil

green onion and toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground pork and break it up with your spoon to brown.

When the pork is mostly cooked, add the yellow onion and cabbage. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are mostly softened but still a bit crisp.

While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small measuring cup or bowl: tamari, doubanjiang, mirin, brown sugar, and sesame oil.

Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, or until fragrant. Pour in the sauce and add the noodles, then toss with tongs until everything is nicely coated in the sauce.

Serve topped with lots of sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds, plus more doubanjiang if you like it extra spicy.

I have made this 3 times so far. Each was good with substitutions for the doubanjiang, but the last time, I ordered an authentic jar of it from Amazon.  The meal is AMAZING. I also use linguine because I prefer a firmer noodle. Otherwise its in normal rotation!
