20 min

6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 pkg (14 oz/400 g) wide rice noodles
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1⁄2 small red onion
  • 1⁄2 lb (225 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 1 breast
  • 1 pkg (340 g) frozen, peeled raw shrimp, defrosted
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 pkg Pad Thai Seasoning
  • 1⁄2 recipe Sesame Ginger Dressing, or your fave Epicure Salad Dressing
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Ginger Dressing Mix
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or gluten free soy sauce
  • 1⁄3 cup oil
  • 1⁄2 cup rice vinegar

Preparation

  1. Place noodles in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water; let stand, tossing with Grip & Grab frequently until soft and pliable, about 7–10 min. Drain and rinse with cold water; place back in bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, thinly slice peppers and onion; add to bowl with cooled noodles.
  3. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
  4. Heat oil in a Wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken, shrimp, and seasoning. Stir-fry until cooked through, 3–5 min. If the seasoning starts to stick, add a bit of water to help loosen the bits from the wok.
  5. Add to bowl with noodles. Drizzle dressing on top, using Grip & Grab gently toss to mix. Add toppings, if desired.
