Pad Thai!!!!
I’m a total tease.
This isn’t really pad thai. I’m not quite sure how the amazing chefs at the Thai restaurants make it. I’m pretty sure they have to go through Pad Thai training. It’s kind of like karate…gaining a black belt in pad thai.
To regain your trust, this does have a great spicy and peanut-y flavor…in noodle form! 🙂
So, I guess this could also be called Thai Peanut Noodles, also known as my Pho-Pad Thai.
I got my inspiration from good ‘ole TJs’ Satay Peanut Sauce.
Anyway, if you’re in the mood for a Pho-Pad Thai. This is your recipe. Mmm…
And you should make this for dessert. Just sayin’.
Pho-Pad Thai
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts tenders
- 4 servings lo mein noodles (whole wheat fettuccine)
- 1 cup of shredded carrots
- 1 cup of broccoli slaw
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup Trader Joe’s Satay Peanut Sauce, to taste and moisture
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup Better’n Peanut Butter, to taste and moisture
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sprouts
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
- 1 green onion
How-To
- In a large sauce pan, sauté the chicken in 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil.
- Once browned, add in the carrots and broccoli slaw. At this point you can add in the second tablespoon of sesame oil, if needed.
- Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the satay peanut sauce and peanut butter.
- Prepare the lo mein noodles as per the packaged instructions.
- Drain the noodles and toss in with the chicken and vegetables.
- In another small pan, scramble the eggs into little bits add them to the noodle mixture.
- Plate up the dish and sprinkle peanuts, sprouts and green onion on top.
I’m totally ok with your version of pad thai, it looks delicious with all that peanut butter sauce!
I’ve always wanted to make homemade pad thai. Pho or not I want this!
i looove pad thai + your version looks perfectly acceptable to me (+ a lot healthier than some restaurant versions, too.) now you’ve got me craving pad thai at 9 AM! i haven’t tried that TJ’s sauce yet so i’ll definitely have to give it a try.
Oh my gosh, you’re so much braver than I am! My boyfriend got me a Thai cooking class at Whole Foods for Christmas and I pretty much learned that cooking Thai food is a lazy person’s nightmare. This looks pretty simple though! I might be able to handle it 🙂
I love pad thai but never make it at home. Now I have to try this!
Totally buying that sauce and making this!
I love pad thai! I don’t think my taste buds would mind at all that it’s pho. It looks delicious. I just found your site through Twitter and I love it.
Awww, yay twitter! 🙂 I’m so glad you found me Nicole!
Pad See Ew noodles are my favorite Thai dish, but Pad Thai comes in at a close second. Your dish looks fabulous! Love the photos too!!!
Thank you! 🙂 Thai food is so good.
Why am I torturing myself looking at your blog when I am still at work for another 1/2 hr? I love pad thai and your Pho version sounds yummers and pretty easy too. 🙂
Aww, I’m sorry Lanae! I hope you get out of work soon!…Then, go home and make this. 😉
Good ol’ Trader Joe’s coming through with the the sauces! This looks pretty much like regular Pad Thai, but a whole lot easier. I will have to try this!
