Classic Thai-Style Pad Thai

1. 1

   Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover them with several inches of room temperature water; let them soak for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain.

2. 2

   Whisk 1/2 cup sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, and tamarind paste together in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then take it off the heat.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.

4. 4

   Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the eggs; scramble until the eggs are nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken and rice noodles and stir until well combined.

5. 5

   Stir in the tamarind mixture, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and salt; cook until the noodles are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the peanuts and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with bean sprouts, chives, and paprika; serve with lime wedges.
