Prep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins
Ingredients
 8 oz Flat rice noodles
 3 tbsp oil
 3 cloves, minced garlic
 10 oz uncooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
 2 eggs
 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper
 3 chopped green onions
 ½ cup dry roasted peanuts
 1 lime
 ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Pad Thai Sauce
 3 tbsp Fish sauce
 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
 5 tbsp light brown sugar
 2 tbsp rice vinegar
 1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (add or reduce according to taste)
 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter (optional)
Directions
1

Cook the noodles according to package instructions, just until tender. Rinse under cold water and set aside for later.

2

Mix the sauce ingredients together. Set aside for later.

3

Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat.

4

Add the shrimp, chicken or tofu, garlic and bell pepper. The shrimp will cook quickly, about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pink. If using chicken, cook until just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes, flipping only once.

5

Push the meat and veggies to the side of the pan. Add a little more oil and add the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces with a spatula as they cook.

6

Add cooked noodles, prepared sauce, bean sprouts and peanuts to the pan (reserving some peanuts for topping at the end). Toss everything to combine.

7

Top with chopped green onions, extra peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
