You’re totally welcome to add it but in a blind taste test this version won over that version 5-0. The only way this could be an even more authentic chicken pad thai recipe would be to add a couple tablespoons of tamarind paste. Since the slices are so thin you’ll find that even though it was in the freezer, it will come back to a good cooking temperature very quickly. Once you do you can very easily slice the chicken very thinly against the grain. The trick to this is to freeze the chicken for about one hour. One of the traditional takeout things about chicken stir fries is how they have chicken that looks like it was almost shaved, similar to Mongolian Beef in restaurants. And with a quick stir fry like this, chicken cooking in no time is super helpful. This means instead of chicken you’re use to pulling apart in recipes like BBQ Pulled Chicken, this cuts across those muscle fibers so it’s like a group of super thin pieces of chicken instead of a long piece of a single cut of meat. The reason the chicken is so tender is because you are cutting the chicken against the grain. This makes chicken pieces that are so tender that they are so easy to chew through. It isn’t about cutting the chicken into fajita sized strips, this is about cutting them to the shape of a very thin matchbook. The key in this recipe, look at the photos closely is how thinly the chicken is cut.

Making the leap to noodles with fish sauce was big enough for our household, so we kept it as kid friendly as we could by swapping out the shrimp and tofu for easy (super thinly) sliced chicken breast meat. Chicken Pad ThaiĬhicken Pad Thai was the first Pad Thai we ever made at home. I’d pretend I’m healthy and don’t eat a lot of carbs but I think this site shows my noodle love runs pretty deep. We are all about Asian noodles including Easy Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Chicken Lo Mein and Classic Chinese Chow Mein.
