Authentic Pad Thai Recipe | The Joyce of Cooking (2024)

Combine all ingredients in the pad Thai sauce and bring to a boil. Whisk until sugar is dissolved, and let the sauce reduce, and then turn off heat.

In a large bowl, pour enough warm water to cover half a pack of dried rice noodles. Let sit for 10-20 minutes (or until the noodles are soft. The soaking time may vary depending on the humidity of your kitchen and how "fresh" your dried noodles are). If you don't want to use the soaking method, you can boil the noodles for about 1 minute and drain.

In a large skillet, heat oil to medium heat and cook onion, garlic, carrots and ginger until the onions are soft

Add cooked turkey breast to onion mixture

Remove onion, garlic, ginger and turkey and set aside on a plate

Scramble the eggs and cook an omelette. Remove from pan once cooked and cut into strips.

Add softened noodles, onion, garlic, ginger, and turkey to a large skillet (medium heat)

Stir fry the noodles and gradually add the Pad Thai sauce. Add a little at a time to give the noodles a chance to soak up the sauce.

Add green onions, bean sprouts and mix until combined. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped peanuts for some crunchiness. You can also add lime for garnish!
