Cooking Pad Thai

  • Heat a teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add the carrot and fry for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the cabbage and peppers into the frying pan and cook for another 3 minutes on medium heat.
  • Remove the vegetables from the pan and put them in a bowl. Add another teaspoon of oil. Cook the chicken until fully cooked and slightly brown on the outside then put aside with the cooked vegetables.
  • Scramble the eggs in the pan then add in the cooked chicken and vegetables. Mix well and add most of the bean sprouts (save a few for topping the dish later)
  • Toss the cooked noodles into the pan and pour in the pad thai sauce. Cook on medium low heat for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are warmed up again.
  • Plate the Pad Thai and sprinkle some Beansprouts, Chopped peanut and squeeze a lime wedge over the dish.

Notes

If you don't have tamarind paste you can use some ketchup for a similar effect.
