CHICKEN PAD THAI

Are YOU tired of the same "OLD" same "OLD" ? Do you want some SPICE in your HOUSE? How about some THAI food! If you have never tried it you MUST tonight! It is SUCH an AROMATIC exotic cuisine that is delectable to your senses, and oh SO YUMMY!



INGREDIENTS:
Chicken Breasts (Cut into fajita strips)
Limes (Cut into Wedges)
Bamboo Shoots (At your local grocery store)
Cilantro
Green Onion or Scallions (Those long green onions, also GREAT in salads!)
Peanuts or Cashews
1 Egg
Glass Noodles (At your local grocery store in Asian section)
1 Small can Panang paste (If in Abilene at the Phillipino market on Barrow past Abilene High on your LEFT if coming from the South side)
1/3 Cup of Coconut milk (At your grocery store)
1/3 Cup Peanut Butter (Creamy or Nutty your choice!)
SEASONED SALT, (If you don't already have this you MUST have! It is my BEST friend in the kitchen!)

Directions:

1. Get out a pan and soak the glass noodles (They look like clear fettucine noodles). Keep them long or cut them in half like I did and SOAK them. They MUST soak 30 minutes!!!



2. Prep your ingredients: Chicken breasts cut, lime wedges cut, bamboo shoots washed, green onions chopped, cilantro chopped, nuts and egg ready to go.



3. In a skillet or wok brown your chicken on MED-HIGH HEAT seasoned with salt, cook 85% through, we don't want it to DRY out through the rest of the cooking, it will be FULLY cooked by the end, PROMISE!



4. Move chicken out of skillet or move over and add eggs, cook FULLY.



5. Drain your Glass noodles and add to the top of your chicken & eggs in the skillet or wok. Simmer and stir through.





6. Add the Green Onions to the top.



7. Then add 1/2 a SMALL can of Pad Thai Paste, It will be VERY SPICY if you put the WHOLE can in! Stir in and mix through.



8. Add in 1/3 Cup of Coconut Milk & Peanut Butter, then pour onto serving dish and top with Peanuts or Cashewa & Cilantro with Lime Wedges on the side.

9. Serve as creatively as you like!
