Harissa-Spiced Chicken Pad Thai
Chef Einat’s harissa-spiced Pad Thai is a bold fusion of flavors. Slow-braised chicken thighs soak up the deep, smoky heat of her signature harissa paste, while rice noodles are coated in a rich, tangy-sweet sauce of peanut butter, tamarind, palm sugar, and fish sauce. Crisp carrots and pickled red cabbage add texture and brightness, with fresh chives and sweet-spicy peanuts providing the final flourish. This comforting dish is a uniquely spiced take on the classic.
