  • 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions , sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup crushed roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 1 lime , cut into wedges
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the brown rice noodles by soaking them in boiling water for 5-7 minutes until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, tamarind paste, honey, and red chili flakes until the sauce is emulsified.
  • Heat a large non-stick wok or skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a light layer of cooking spray.
  • Add the sliced chicken breast and minced garlic to the wok, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Push the chicken to one side of the wok and pour the liquid egg whites into the empty side, scrambling them until fully set.
  • Incorporate the cooked noodles and the prepared sauce into the wok, tossing vigorously with tongs to ensure even distribution and coating.
  • Add the bean sprouts and green onions to the mixture, tossing for an additional 60 seconds until the sprouts are slightly wilted but still crisp.
  • Distribute the Pad Thai into four equal portions and garnish each with 1 tablespoon of crushed peanuts and a lime wedge.
