Simple pad thai recipe
Pprepared from simple ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 small (35 g) onion (red onion or spring onion is also fine)
- 2 (4 g) garlic
- 5 g fresh ginger
- 100 g kale leaf
- 80 g carrots
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
- 50 g wide rice noodles
- water in which you cook the pasta
For homemade pad thai sauce:
- 60 g apricot jam with apple, sweetened with xylitol and erythritol (or sugar-free apricot jam)
- 70 ml hot water
- 30 ml sugar-free soy sauce (e.g., Kikkoman or Tao Tao brands)
For chicken (3 servings)
- 300 g chicken breast fillet
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 g roast chicken spice mix
Instructions
- Dice the chicken. Mix the olive oil with the roasted chicken seasoning in a bowl, then pour over the chicken and mix. Leave to stand for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- Chop the onion, garlic, and fresh ginger. Cut the carrots into matchstick-sized pieces. Cut the washed cabbage leaves into finger-sized slices. Place the prepared ingredients near the stove.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and place it near the stove.
- Beat the eggs and place them in a bowl, season with salt - this should also be at hand.
- Fry the prepared chicken breast in a hot pan until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside while you fry the vegetables.
- Drizzle a little olive oil into the pan and add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Fry until golden brown, then add the carrots and cabbage leaves. Season lightly with salt and fry all the vegetables, stirring frequently.
- Move the sautéed vegetables to one side and pour the eggs into the pan. Stir to cook, then mix with the vegetables. Add the reserved chicken breast.
- The rice noodles only need to be boiled in salted water. I heat water in a kettle, then pour it into a saucepan, add salt and put in the dry noodles. I boil it once more and it's ready. I strain it and mix it with the chicken and vegetables.
- Once the pasta has been added, pour the mixed sauce over it. Heat it through and serve immediately, as it will quickly absorb the sauce.
