Ingredients
8 ounces flat rice noodles
3 Tablespoons oil
3 cloves garlic , minced
8 ounces uncooked shrimp, chicken, or extra-firm tofu , cut into small pieces
2 eggs
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1 red bell pepper , thinly sliced
3 green onions , chopped
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
2 limes
1/2 cup Fresh cilantro , chopped

For the Pad Thai sauce:


3 Tablespoons fish sauce
1 Tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
5 Tablespoons light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar * see note
1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce , or more, to taste
2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter , optional

Instructions
1. Cook noodles according to package instructions, just until tender. Rinse under cold water.
2. Mix the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
3. Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Add the shrimp, chicken or tofu, garlic and bell pepper. The shrimp will cook quickly, about 1-
2 minutes on each side, or until pink. If using chicken, cook until just cooked through, about
3-4 minutes, flipping only once.
5. Push everything to the side of the pan. Add a little more oil and add the beaten eggs.
Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces with a spatula as they cook.
6. Add noodles, sauce, bean sprouts and peanuts to the pan (reserving some peanuts for
topping at the end). Toss everything to combine.
