1⁄2 cup picked Cilantro, with stems
2 tsp minced Garlic

Method for Pad Thai with Chicken

• Soak 16 ounces of rice stick noodles in room temperature water for 20 minutes, or until noodles turn white in color.
• Drain noodles.
• Heat up a wok or large sauté pan on high heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil and scramble the eggs very loosely for about 30 seconds.
• Remove the cooked eggs and put aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil to the wok or sauté pan on high heat.
• Sauté the chicken breast with sliced shallots and scallions for 2 minutes, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Add garlic, tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, loosely scrambled eggs, and pre-soaked rice noodles to the hot wok and stir fry.
• When the noodles are soft in consistency, add the fish sauce, bean sprouts, and half of the picked cilantro to the wok and stir fry thoroughly for 1 minute. This is a good time to add the garlic chili paste, to taste. Spicy is how we serve it in the restaurant.
• Divide the pad thai into 4 plates and garnish with the remainder of the cilantro sprigs and sprinkle with toasted peanuts.
• Serve immediately with a wedge of lime to squeeze onto the noodles.
