Chicken Pad Thai
Pad Thai is often referred to as Thailand's national dish; for this one, you'll be recreating the street food classic at home! You'll make a zingy pad Thai sauce with tamarind & lime to coat the chicken before mixing with slices of crunchy mange tout and rice noodles. (Dairy-free: see our FAQs for details.)

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Cut the chicken breast[s] into bite-sized pieces
Place the Thai rice noodles into a bowl and cover with boiled water
Set aside for 12-15 min to soften
Once softened, drain the noodles and set aside
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Add the chopped chicken with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to brown
While the chicken is cooking, slice the mange tout in half
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Peel and grate the carrot[s]
Once the chicken is starting to brown, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add the sliced mange tout and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to soften
Combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha hot chilli sauce (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), tamarind paste, 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] sugar and the juice of 1/2 [1] lime – this is your sauce
Once the mange tout has softened, add the drained Thai rice noodles and sauce to the pan and cook for 1-2 min further, stirring until everything is evenly coated in the sauce
Stir through the grated carrot – this is your chicken pad Thai
Crush the peanuts in the bag with a rolling pin
Cut the remaining lime into wedges
Serve the chicken pad Thai with the crushed peanuts and dried chilli flakes (remember to go easy if you're not a fan of spice) on top
Garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
