Ingredients | Pad King Thai

12 ounces dried rice noodles

½ cup white sugar

½ cup distilled white vinegar

¼ cup fish sauce

2 tablespoons tamarind paste

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 ½ teaspoons garlic, minced

4 eggs, beaten

1 ½ tablespoons white sugar

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 cup coarsely ground peanuts

2 cups bean sprouts

Directions

Place rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with several inches of room temperature water; let soak for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain.

Whisk sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, and tamarind paste in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat.

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil and minced garlic in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir in eggs; scramble until eggs are nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add cooked chicken breast slices and rice noodles; stir to combine.
