Chicken Pad Thai with Peppers, Peanuts & Lime from Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon
If you're in the Northeast this weekend, I hope you're staying warm and cooking up one of our Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal kits. Remember, there's no need to shop for specific ingredients - everything is delivered right to your door.
Yesterday was also very cold here at my Bedford, New York farm - temperatures were in the low 20s with wind chills in the single digits. For lunch, my housekeeper, Elvira Rojas, cooked one of the meals I selected from this week's menu - Chicken Pad Thai with Peppers, Peanuts & Lime. It was excellent and just the perfect size for four. Plus, just as promised on the recipe card, the entire dish was done in less than 40-minutes. Our delivery meal service features so many inspiring recipes and cooking ideas, and you can customize the menu and choose the recipes that best fit your busy lifestyle.

-
- The first thing we do is take out all the ingredients from our Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon box and place them on the counter where everything is easy to see. All these ingredients are fresh and pre-portioned, so there is no waste. Each meal comes with a large recipe card, which lists the ingredients and each of the six steps plus large photos to help show each stage of the process.
-
- Elvira heats a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high and drops in the chicken to cook through.
-
- She stirs occasionally while it cooks for about four to five minutes.
-
- Pad Thai is made with dried rice noodles that are cut thick and flat. They can be found in any Asian specialty store or Asian section of the grocery.
-
- The noodles are cooked in a medium pot of salted boiling water for about six to eight minutes until al-dente.
-
- She also chops the garlic and all the other vegetables.
-
- Here is the chicken almost cooked – always make sure poultry is cooked through. To be sure, one can poke the chicken to see if the juices run clear. If they do, it’s done.
-
- Once the chicken is cooked, Elvira transfers it to a separate bowl.
-
- Next, the sauce is prepared. Elvira whisks together the fish sauce, sweet & sour sauce, and two tablespoons sugar.
-
- Then she adds two tablespoons lime juice into the sauce.
-
- In the same skillet, Elvira adds the peppers, shallots, and scallion whites. She cooks everything until they are tender and then removes them from the skillet and adds to the same bowl as the chicken.
-
- Once the noodles are done, they are drained and rinsed under cold water and tossed with two teaspoons oil to prevent sticking.
-
- Elvira adds the garlic, noodles and sauce to the skillet stirring and tossing often until the noodles start to absorb the sauce. This takes about two to four minutes.
-
- Next, the noodles are pushed to one side and the eggs are added to the empty space.
-
- Once the eggs are broken, cooked and stirred in with the noodles, Elvira adds the chicken and vegetables.
-
- Then she adds the peanuts, scallion dark greens and seasons with salt and pepper to taste. It’s that easy.
-
- After just a few minutes, our Chicken Pad Thai with Peppers, Peanuts & Lime looks great just like the photo. Serve with a lime wedges on the side and it’s ready – a delicious meal on a very cold winter day. Be sure to visit Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon today and sign up!
