QUICK CHICKEN PAD THAI
Source: America's Test Kitchen


"We streamlined this Thai restaurant favorite to make it a fast weeknight dinner option. For maximum efficiency, prepare the chicken, garlic, cilantro, and bean sprouts while the rice noodles are soaking. If you can't find fish sauce, substitute a combination of 4 minced anchovy fillets and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Rice stick noodles can be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets. If desired, top the pad Thai with chopped peanuts and scallions."


Yield: 4 servings


8 ounces dried rice stick noodles, about 1/8 inch wide
3/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup juice from 2 limes
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves




Recipe





• Cover rice sticks with hot tap water in large bowl and soak until softened but not fully tender, about 20 minutes. Drain noodles.
Meanwhile, whisk 3/4 cup warm water, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar in bowl until sugar is dissolved.

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat until just smoking.
Add chicken and garlic and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add noodles and fish sauce mixture and cook until noodles are coated with sauce, about 3 minutes.
Scatter bean sprouts and cilantro over noodles and continue to cook, tossing constantly, until noodles are fully tender, about 3 minutes. Serve.
