1 box pad thai rice noodles
2 tbsp. peanut or canola oil
8 oz. medium shrimp
1 red bell pepper
3 fresh jalapeno or serrano chiles
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 1/2 c. roasted shredded chicken
13 c. pad thai sauce
2 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 large eggs
2 c. fresh bean sprouts
2 scallions
1/4 c. fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 c. dry-roasted peanuts

1
In a large bowl, cover noodles with boiling water.
2
Let stand 15 minutes until noodles are soft but firm; drain.
3
Rinse under cold water; drain again.
4
Return noodles to bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil to coat.
5
In a large nonstick wok or deep skillet, heat remaining oil on high until it's hot enough that a drop of water sizzles.
6
Add shrimp, bell pepper, chiles, and garlic; stir-fry for 2 minutes, until halfway cooked through.
7
Add chicken, noodles, pad thai sauce, and soy sauce; stir-fry, lifting mixture with a pasta fork or tongs, until noodles become tender and sauce is absorbed into noodles, about 4 minutes.
8
Push noodle mixture to one side of pan; pour in eggs and cook, without stirring, 1 minute.
9
Add 1 cup of the bean sprouts and scallions.
10
Continue to toss and stir-fry, combining eggs and noodle mixture until eggs are fully cooked.
