Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fusion Chicken Pad Thai.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil, as this will be essential for cooking your rice noodles to perfection. While the water heats up, season your chicken pieces with a sprinkle of salt and ground black pepper, setting them aside to absorb the flavors.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the white sugar, cayenne pepper, white wine vinegar, fish sauce, and creamy peanut butter. This will create a deliciously rich peanut sauce that will elevate your dish.
Step 3
Next, take a large skillet or wok and coat the bottom with olive oil. Heat it over high heat until it's nice and hot. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, cooking and stirring just until the chicken is white on the outside but still slightly pink inside, which should take about 3 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside in a bowl.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sautรฉ the garlic until it becomes translucent, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, pour in the lightly beaten eggs, stirring them into the garlic until they are loosely cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Now, it's time to bring your peanut sauce into the mix. Pour it into the skillet with the garlic and eggs, stirring to combine everything beautifully. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 6
While the sauce simmers, stir the rice noodles into the boiling water. Cook them until they are still slightly tough, which should take about 5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
Step 7
Return the chicken to the skillet with the eggs and sauce, simmering until the chicken is fully cooked through and the juices run clear, stirring frequently for about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 8
Next, add the fresh bean sprouts and the drained rice noodles to the skillet, along with the beef broth. Bring everything to a simmer, cooking until the noodles are tender and most of the broth has been absorbed, which should take about 10 minutes. This is where all the flavors meld together beautifully!
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions before serving. This adds a fresh crunch and a pop of color to your Fusion Chicken Pad Thai.
