Ingredients- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast(s), sliced
- 1 pkg Thai rice noodles
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) tamarind paste
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) water, warm
- 4 oz (115 g) tofu, fried
- 6 tbsp (90 mL) peanuts, toasted
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) fish sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) lime juice
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp (5 mL) garlic, minced
- 2 egg(s)
- 1 cup (250 mL) bean sprouts
- 2 green onion(s), cut in 1-inch matchsticks
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) red hot chili pepper(s), roasted
- red pepper(s), cut into strips
- coriander, fresh
- lime, cut into wedges
Preparation- Soak noodles in plenty of cold water for at least 1 hour.
- Combine tamarind paste with ¼ cup (60 mL) warm water in a small bowl and let soak for at least 15 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into ¼ inch strips. Reserve.
- Slice the fried tofu into ¾ inch cubes. Reserve.
- Blend or process peanuts into coarse meal. Reserve.
- Return to your reserved tamarind paste in its water. Mash it and transfer the mud-like mixture to a strainer set into a bowl. Mash and push with a spoon, forcing liquid to strain into the bowl. Scrape off the juice that clings to the underside of the strainer. You will have about 5 Tbsp (75 mL) of tamarind juice. Add to it the fish sauce, sugar and lime juice. Beat to thoroughly mix and reserve. Discard the solids left in the strainer.
- Heat oil in a wok (or large frying pan) until it is just about to smoke. Add garlic and stir, letting it cook for about 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add tofu and stir-fry for 1 more minute. Break eggs into wok and let them fry without breaking them up for 1-2 minutes.
- While eggs cook, drain the noodles and then add to wok, giving them a quick fold, stir-frying for 1 minute from the bottom up. Add reserved tamarind juice, etc. (from step #6) and continue stir-frying, mixing everything together for 1-2 minutes. Your noodles will have subsided to half their original volume and softened up to al dente.
- Add about 2/3 of the reserved ground peanuts and stir. Add about 2/3 of the bean sprouts and all the green onion pieces. Stir-fry for 30 seconds and take off heat.
- Transfer noodles to a serving dish and sprinkle with roasted chillies. Top with the rest of the ground peanuts, the rest of the sprouts, some strips of red pepper and fresh coriander leaves. Stick a couple of lime wedges on the side and serve immediately.
