Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar (or tamarind paste), Sriracha, and peanut butter (if using). Set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the full pack of thick rice noodles or pad Thai noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just tender. Strain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your choice of protein (such as chicken or shrimp), season lightly if desired, and cook until fully done. Cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, scramble 4 eggs. Once cooked through, remove and set aside with the protein.

Step 5

Add the prepared sauce to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked noodles, followed by the chicken and scrambled eggs. Add the bean sprouts and stir everything together well.

Step 6

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes to soften the bean sprouts and let the flavours blend.

Step 7

Top with chopped green onion and serve hot.
