Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Soak rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sriracha.
  3. 3
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high. Add chicken and stir-fry until just cooked, 4–5 minutes; remove and set aside.
  4. 4
    Add another tablespoon oil to the pan. Scramble eggs until just set, then push to one side.
  5. 5
    Add remaining oil; sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. 6
    Add drained noodles, cooked chicken, and sauce. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes so noodles absorb sauce.
  7. 7
    Add bean sprouts and green onions; toss for 1 minute until just wilted.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately, topped with chopped peanuts and fresh lime wedges.
