  • 8 oz (230g) skinless and boneless chicken breast sliced
  • 2 oz (60g) fried tofu cut into pieces
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 8 oz (230g) bean sprouts
  • 1 talk scallion cut into 2-inch (5 cm) lengths

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the skinny rice sticks according to the package directions. Strain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until the noodles cool. Set aside to drain.
  2. Prepare the Pad Thai Sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the chicken and tofu, and continue stirring. As soon as the chicken changes color, add the rice sticks and stir continuously for 30 seconds. Use a spatula to push all the ingredients to one side of the wok or skillet.
  4. Add the eggs and let them cook for about 1 minute or until the bottom sets. Fold the noodles over the eggs, then add the sauce. Stir continuously until everything is well combined. Add the bean sprouts and scallions, and give a few quick stirs. Turn off the heat and top the noodles with crushed peanuts. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
