Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces Pad Thai/wide rice noodles
  • 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • black pepper and chili flakes, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 3/4 pound ground chicken
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter

Instructions
 

  • Soak the rice noodles according to packaged directions. Drain.
  • To make the sauce. In a bowl, combine the tamari/soy sauce, maple syrup, fish sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and chili flakes.
  • Add the oil, chicken, and red bell pepper to a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook until the chicken is browned all over, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, shallot, garlic, and a pinch of chili flakes and black pepper. Continue to cook the chicken in the butter until the garlic begins to turn golden, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the noodles and sauce, tossing to combine. Cook until the noodles are warmed through and begin soaking up the sauce, about 1 minute. Push the noodles to one side of the skillet and add the eggs to the other side. Let cook until the edges start to set, 1 minute. Roughly scramble the egg, then toss it with the noodles. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the bean sprouts, cilantro, and green onions, and toss again.
  • Serve warm noodles topped with basil, green onions, peanuts, and chili flakes. Add a squeeze of lime juice.
