Follow The Directions
01
Step
40 mins
Soak the Noodles: Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak until they are soft, approximately 30 to 50 minutes. Once softened, drain the noodles and set them aside.
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch, stirring until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. In a separate bowl, place the chicken strips and pour the soy sauce mixture over them. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated, then set aside to marinate.
03
Step
5 mins
Simmer the Sauce: In a saucepan, mix together 1/4 cup sugar, fish sauce, tamarind juice, and lime juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens. Keep the sauce warm until needed.
04
Step
8 mins
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it is no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, about 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and keep the chicken warm.

Step

Sauté the Eggs and Combine: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and eggs, stirring to scramble them, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and stir until well combined.
06
Step
8 mins
Add Noodles and Sauce: Add the drained noodles to the wok and stir until they are warmed through, approximately 5 to 10 minutes more. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodle mixture. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon of sugar and salt. Mix in the chopped peanuts and chili powder.
