Pad Thai


another family favorite!  I always double this recipe so we have leftovers.  yummy.

1/2 pound linguini, cooked
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (I only had regular soy sauce so I used that)
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 pound chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces (I chopped these pieces very small as Scott requested)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 cup green onion, cut 1 inch thick
2 teaspoons paprika
2 cups bean sprouts
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped
6 lime wedges
In a large bowl, toss cooked noodles with 1 teaspoon olive oil; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine water, soy sauce, fish sauce and brown sugar; set side.
In a large nonstick skillet (or preferably a wok), heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add eggs and stir fry for 1 minute. Add eggs to noodles. In the same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and garlic; stir fry for 5 minutes.
Add chicken mixture to noodle mixture.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add shrimp, onions and paprika; stir fry for 3 minutes.
Toss the noodle mixture and the soy sauce mixture into the skillet and heat through (5 minutes).
Remove from heat; toss with bean sprouts and cilantro. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Garnish with lime wedges.  (You can squeeze the lime juice on your dinner, if you like that!)
