Get ready to devour the most scrumptious Pad Thai of your life! This recipe is a game-changer, and I’m excited to share it with you. No more mediocre takeout or bland, store-bought noodles. We’re talking about a dish that’s packed with flavor, texture, and a hint of spice. So, let’s dive in!

Pad Thai is a classic Thai dish that’s made with rice noodles, peanuts, scrambled eggs, and your choice of protein. For this recipe, we’ll be using pork tenderloin, but feel free to swap it out with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a vegetarian option. The key to making this dish shine is the sauce, which is a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.

The first step is to cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. You want them to be slightly al dente, so be sure to check on them frequently. Once they’re cooked, drain them and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside for now.

Next, heat some oil in a large skillet&hvadid=719737736360&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=9014016&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=4304362975742278753–&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4304362975742278753&hvtargid=kwd-332465824708&hydadcr=28544_14555830&linkCode=ll2&tag=recipe-aisle-20&linkId=1efe785d11207b6cec7af25b776bd528&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl’>non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook until it’s lightly browned. Remove it from the pan and set it aside with the noodles. Add the shallot to the pan and cook until it’s tender, about one minute. Then, add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Make a well in the center of the shallot mixture and add the egg. Scramble it until it’s cooked through, then break it up into small pieces. Add the coleslaw mix, green onion, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce, and peanuts to the pan. Stir everything together until it’s well combined. Return the pork and noodles to the pan and stir-fry everything together until it’s heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

This Pad Thai is a crowd-pleaser, and it’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. You can also serve it with some steamed vegetables or a side of fresh fruit for a well-rounded meal. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s head over to the recipe aisle and get cooking!
