Ingredients

• 8 oz Brown rice noodles
• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Bean sprouts
• 4 Green onions
• 1 cup Crushed peanuts
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro
• 4 Lime wedges
• 3 tbsp Gluten-free tamari sauce
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Sriracha

Directions

Step 1

Boil water in a large pot and cook brown rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Crack eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked, breaking them into small pieces.

Step 6

Add cooked noodles, chicken, bean sprouts, and sliced green onions to the skillet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free tamari sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and Sriracha. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodle mixture.

Step 8

Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are well coated with the sauce and everything is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the Pad Thai to a serving platter. Garnish with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges before serving.
