Ingredients

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon Asian chili paste, such as sambal oelek
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 cup julienned mixed vegetables (carrots, yellow squash, zucchini)
4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, sliced into strips
12 medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 pound medium-wide rice noodles, soaked in warm water until softened and drained
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Chopped Romaine lettuce, for garnish
Mung bean sprouts, for garnish

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, peanut butter, and chili paste until smooth.

Heat a large wok over medium-high heat, and add canola oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger and let cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the vegetables, chicken, and shrimp, and stir-fry until chicken and shrimp are browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and toss to coat.

Spread chopped romaine on a platter. Serve pad Thai on top of lettuce and garnish with mung bean sprouts, lime, cilantro and chopped peanuts.

Excellent recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a winner for the whole family! It was more filling than what I thought it would be. I used the Thai Kitchen Red... Curry Paste, and followed the recipe as is, garnishments and all!Read more

Agree it should be called something else
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Having lived in Newport, RI for many many years I did have many opportunities to visit the Salvation Cafe. I even had their... Pad Thai . But since having had a more authentic version elsewhere and even made one myself, (using the Kuay Tiaw recipe) now that I see the recipe from Salvatin Cafe here on the Food Network's website, I have to agree that what they serve at the Restaurant is nothing more than pasta with vegetables and a peanut butter sauce. It is far cry from authentic Pad Thai. It isn't a terrible dish but it isn't anywhere as special as authenic Pad Thai is. It really should be called something else.Read more

Easy and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't have the Asian chili sauce, so I used red pepper flakes instead. Worked perfectly and had the right amount of... spiciness. Also, I only had crunchy peanut butter and that worked out great as well. You won't be disappointed in this recipe. Read more

The kids loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'll agree with what others have already said - this was easy, I found everything I needed at a regular grocery store, and... best of all my kids liked it too and they are little kids. I was happy with the taste as I took someone's advice and added extra chili sauce, peanut butter and cider vinegar. I wish in retrospect I would have doubled the sauce tho because although it was good hot, once it sat for a few minutes it gummed up a little. Still great taste and I want to try it again ...
