A super quick and easy Pad Thai made with chicken, bean sprouts, noodles and a homemade sauce. Ready in 20 minutes.
Whenever we visit our local Thai restaurant, we always order Pad Thai. I thought it was about time I recreated Chicken Pad Thai at home using my own homemade sauce.
My favourite Pad Thai is chicken. If you prefer, you could use beef, tofu, prawns or pork instead.
Depending on how hot you like your noodles, you can increase or decrease the amount of crushed chilli.
How to make Pad Thai:
Pan fry chicken in a little oil in a non stick fry pan until cooked through. Stir in crushed garlic and combine.
Make a space in the centre and crack in the eggs. Keep stirring until they are cooked through.
Add the Pad Thai noodles and bean sprouts to the pan.
Whisk together the sauce ingredients then pour into the pan. Scatter in spring onions and peanuts then stir everything together.
Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is reduced and the noodles are cooked through.
Serve immediately with extra crushed peanuts, spring onion and fresh coriander.
Some of my other popular recipes for noodles includeSteak Salad with Miso Dressing, Chicken Satay Noodle Stir FryandThai Beef Salad.
Common questions about Chicken Pad Thai:
Could I use dried Pad Thai noodles instead? Absolutely. Cook the noodles as per the packet instructions. Add them to the pan at the same time as the sauce.
How long with this meal keep for? I would recommend eating leftovers within two days of making this meal. Always reheat until piping hot.

Made this for tea tonight and it was really good. I was a bit worried with the amount of fish sauce, that it'd taste well fishy haha it wasn't though. I enjoyed this and would make it again.

Hi, I’m just wondering why I don’t seem to be able to see reviews on your webpage? It says there are 10 reviews for the pad Thai recipe but I can’t see them on the page. The same on other recipes
ThanksReply

The Chef's World fresh Pad Thai Noodles from Countdown. But you could also use dried pad thai rice sticks/noodles and pre cook them before adding them to the pan.

Super yummy! Was a big hit in my house. Just found the rice wine vinegar a tad over powering so will reduce down to 2-3TBSP
