MAKE THE SAUCE

MAKE THE PAD THAI
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4-5 quarts of water to a boil. Add the noodles and stir well. Allow to boil for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse and set aside.
- Heat a wok or a medium saucepan and add the oil. When hot and shimmering, add the mushrooms and sprinkle with 1 tsp of the Spice Spice Baby seasoning. Stir fry the mushrooms for 5 minutes and remove to a paper towel to drain.
- Keep the wok heated and add the chicken to the remaining oil. Add the remaining tsp of the Spice Spice Baby seasoning. Stir fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set on a paper towel.
- In the same pan, add the eggs and scramble in the pan. When the eggs come together into a soft scramble, add the noodles and ½ of the sauce. Stir well and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the peanuts, peas, cabbage and carrots and combine. Allow to cook for 2 additional minutes until the cabbage and carrots soften.
- Add back in the mushrooms and chicken and the additional sauce. And stir well until heated.
- Served with chopped Thai basil, cilantro, chopped peanut, and sesame seeds on top. Enjoy!
Recommended Recipes
Dahl And Rice
I’m focusing on the Dhal in this recipe because it is hands down, delish. This is a spin on my mom’s dahl recipe. She used yellow split peas but I use red lentils. They cook much faster and have a more creamy texture.
Herby Popovers
These popovers are easy, yummy and simple! They make the perfect snack or appetizer. You can also get creative with the flavors, since the popovers themselves are a blank slate for experimentation. In this version, we used our Healthy On You® Bohemian Rosemary Sea Salt and Let the Good Thymes Roll Spice Blend. We have so much fun making this recipe as a family, you’ll want to give this a try!
Heirloom Tomato And Leek Tart
It’s tomato season! If you have a garden, growing tomatoes are a test of patience that can sometimes make you want to pull your hair out. Luckily, local farmer’s markets are overflowing with tomatoes so sweet ripe tomatoes should be easy to come by. This tart is perfect for a main course at brunch and also works well with a side salad for a light dinner -with a glass of vino (wink, wink!)
