Chicken Pad Thai

Chicken-pad-Thai-pinnable-graphic-FINAL

This Chicken Pad Thai recipe was inspired by the Thug Kitchen Cookbook.  This cookbook is hysterical and a hoot to read even if you aren’t planning on cooking.

VEGETARIAN & GLUTEN-FREE OPTION

The Thug Kitchen recipe called for Dry-Fried Tofu but I prefer chicken as my source of protein and who doesn’t love Chicken Pad Thai?? However, if you are Vegetarian you could easily swap out the chicken for Tofu or your protein of choice. If you are gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce OR tamari.

DON’T BE SCURRED!

Do not be scared to cook with some of the different ingredients this recipe calls for! Rice noodles and shallots aren’t in my everyday cooking vocabulary. We all have to start somewhere and be adventurous unless we want to eat the same boring meals day in and day out.

I changed up a lot of the measurements Thug Kitchen called for as I don’t think they were on point after  following their instructions. As we know, everyone has different tastes so I say modify according to your own personal preferences!
