Cooking Directions
Prepare the Noodles
Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, combine fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
Cook Chicken and Shrimp
In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
Add the soaked noodles, sauce, green onions, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve
Remove from heat, plate the Pad Thai, and garnish with chopped peanuts. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
