Chicken & Shrimp Curry Pad Thai
1
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 6 pieces. Heat sesame and canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry in wok until lightly browned and cooked through. Add the minced garlic and onions and cook until onions are translucent.
2
Meanwhile, prepare rice noodles by placing them in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 6-8 minutes, until softened but still firm. Drain well.
3
Add carrots, peppers and shrimp to the skillet. Cook until shrimp have turned pink and are cooked through.
4
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, turmeric and curry powder into the skillet and mix thoroughly. Add rice noodles and heat through. Add well-beaten eggs and allow them to set slightly and then stir into mixture. Add bean sprouts and toss again.
5
To serve, spoon onto serving platter. Garnish with green onions, minced coriander (cilantro) and/or peanuts.
Notes: Don't have bean sprouts? Substitute finely shredded cabbage. Ground chicken can also be substituted for the thighs.

  • I have just finished preparing this recipe for the second time and the positive response from the whole family was echoed again as awesome. I add fresh mushrooms for a variation. Healthy, quick and scrumptious is what some of us need in today's hectic lifestyle and this fits the bill.
