8 oz Thai Rice Noodles
2 pc large Chicken Breast
1 tsp Cornstarch
3 tbsp Soy Sauce
4 cloves Garlic, minced

3 tbsp Brown Sugar

Preheat sous vide to 140 F / 60 C.

Combine chicken, cornstarch dissolve in soy sauce. Put in a plastic bag and cook it in sous vide for about an hour and fifteen minutes. Make Pad Thai sauce by combining tamarind paste, fish sauce, 1/4 cup chicken stock, chili sauce or 1/2 tsp or more dried crushed chili or cayenne, and sugar together in a cup. Stir well to dissolve tamarind and brown sugar.

Taste-test for a tangy balance between sweet and sour. Add more sugar if too sour, more tamarind if too sweet.

Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water. Stir to separate. Do not overcook.

Warm up a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 tsp of oil plus garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant. Add the chicken. When pan becomes dry., add a little chicken stock. Add noodles and pour Pad Thai sauce. Stir fry in 5 minutes, or until noodles are chewy 'al dente'.
