Ingredients
  

  • 50 g blanched peanuts
  • 150 g medium-width rice noodles

Sauce

  • 30 g fish sauce
  • 60 g palm sugar
  • 25 g tamarind paste
  • 5 g sriracha optional

Stir Fry

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic rough chopped
  • 1 chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 spring onions 2in lengths
  • 120 g bean sprouts
  • ½ lime wedged

Instructions
 

  • To roast the peanuts, take the blanched peanuts and spread on to a baking tray in a single layer. Roast at 180C for 15 minutes, then allow to cool. Crush with the base of a saucepan.
  • Soak the rice noodles in warm (40C) water for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Put a wok on a high heat and add half the oil. Add the garlic, stir fry for a few seconds, then add the chicken. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
  • Push the ingredients to the side of the wok and add the remaining oil. Add the eggs, allowing to cook for 30 seconds, then scramble and mix in.
  • Add the noodles with a little of their water, stir fry until softened, around 2-3 minutes. Add the sauce and continue to stir fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the spring onions, half of the bean sprouts and half of the crushed peanuts. Continue to stir fry until well combined and the chives begin to wilt.
  • Serve with a lime wedge, remaining bean sprouts and crushed peanuts.
