Method
-
Prepare the Noodles
Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water, gently separating the noodles with your fingers to prevent sticking. -
Cook the Aromatics & Chicken
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Finely dice the eshallot and mince 2 cloves of garlic. Add to the pan and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. -
Add the Egg
Push the chicken mixture to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty space and lightly whisk with a fork or spoon. Once just set, fold the egg through the chicken mixture. -
Combine Everything
Add the bean sprouts and drained noodles to the pan. Toss well to combine. Pour in the Pad Thai sauce and stir-fry for about 1½ minutes. Add the garlic chives and half of the crushed peanuts, tossing for a further 30 seconds. Remove from heat. -
Serve
Divide between bowls, top with remaining crushed peanuts, and serve with a wedge of lime.
Notes
-
If preparing the noodles ahead of time, lightly toss them with a small amount of neutral oil (such as grapeseed or rice bran oil) and leave at room temperature to prevent sticking.
-
Always use a light, high-smoke-point oil such as grapeseed, rice bran, vegetable, or peanut oil for best results.
