Chicken Pad Thai
Delicious Thai rice noodles with Chicken & Pad Thai sauce
Equipment
- 5L slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thigh fillet, sliced into strips

Instructions
- Using a searing slow cooker (or hot pan on stove top) briefly cook chicken strips in hot oil in batches just to seal/change colour. Add the thin strips of onion in final batch of chicken sealing to soften them also.
- Set slow cooker to LOW (with chicken and onion added to slow cooker if you had been sealing it on stove top)
- Combine warm water, stock powder, sugar, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and tamarind paste and pour over chicken
- Slow cook on low for 3hrs
- Soak aside rice noodle in bowl of hot water now for 20mins
- While noodles are soaking add cornflour slurry and bean sprouts to slow cooker and stir through
- After 20mins has elapsed drain noodles, rinse, then gently stir through slow cooker mix to combine. Allow to cook for another 10mins then serve.
- Drizzle with any remaining sauce and garnish with slices of green onion and fresh coriander
- Note: You can purchase a jar of tamarind paste from the international cooking section of regular supermarkets

Ended up making this dish despite being sooo unwell. I didn’t get to eat, but, saving mine for tomorrow hopefully. My partner said it was better than takeaway Thai (Only Thai dish he eats). Also my fav, so disappointed I couldn’t eat. Smelt delish though!!
Followed recipe but added crushed peanuts and grilled lemon wedge. Will add stripped scrambled egg next time. 10/10
Oh my goodness, this was sooo good. Even my picky 8y old had seconds. It’s going into the dinner rotation!
Yey!!! Thanks Kelda 🙂
Made this for dinner last night.
It was really easy to make, I added a can of Chinese style veggies. Very nice, will definitely make again.
Thankyou Pauline for your awesome slow cooker recipes.
Made this last night, so easy and the flavour was awesome. I added a can of Chinese style vegetables and a finely chopped lime leaf . Will definitely make again. Thanks Paulene
This was really delicious. Whole family loved it!!
I had to improvise as there were a couple of ingredients I didn’t have, so I substituted others. But that’s me all the time😆. Main thing is- I usually cook this in my wok but this was soooo much more convenient. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼 YUM
really good. hit with whole family. I added some stirfry veges as I didn’t have sprouts .was very tasty
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to try this recipe!! it was delicious – there was enough for us to have plenty of leftovers (ony 2 of us).
Only thing I changed was I used 1/2 a brown onion chopped finely because I forgot to buy French Shallot onions and I also sprinkled crushed peanuts over the top.
So pleased you enjoyed it Leah 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to leave your amazing feedback – that’s so appreciated!
