Chicken Pad Thai

I decided to try to cook Thai food and searched multiple recipes to find a method to make my own version. I wanted to make it extra lean and load it up with veggies.

First I bought the noodles-it comes with a sauce packet, too.

Here's a list of ingredients I used-mix and match as you wish:

3-4 Large chicken breasts, cubed

*I often add a dozen shrimp or some organic lean chicken sausage*

1 egg

Olive oil-1 TBS

Prepare noodles per package instructions-I let noodles sit in the water while I prepare the rest.

Brown the meat in olive oil in an extra large fry pan or wok and set aside

Crack egg into pan and scramble

Add Vegetables:

1 cup raw spinach leaves, torn

1 cup broccoli slaw

1/4 cup shredded carrots

1/3 each of diced bell peppers-I use red, orange and yellow

1/2 yellow onion, diced

1 small bunch of fresh asparagus-I use the tips 

6-8 Basil Leaves, chopped (approx)

2 TBS chopped fresh cilantro

1 small lime, cut into wedges, if desired

1/4 cup fresh pineapple, chopped

* Can add water chestnuts, mushrooms or whatever you like-can also omit any of the ingredients-you should make it however your family will eat it.

I saute all veggies (stir fry) and add back in the meat. 

I add extra sauces while cooking (you may do without or use less or more-according to your specific taste) :

1-2 TBS Sriracha Sauce, to taste

2 TBS Fish Sauce

1 TBS Hoisin Sauce

2-3 TBS Soy Sauce

Once vegetables are done to your liking-add in the noodles and the sauce packet from noodle kit, and stir all together. Squeeze a lime wedge on top, if you wish. 

Enjoy! It's delicious!
