Super Simple Seven: Pad Thai with Shredded Sous Vide Chicken

Anova Culinary

We all love Asian recipes, but sometimes when you look at an ingredients list with what seems like 100 obscure ingredients, you’re put off before you even begin. So the Super Simple Seven recipe series is simplified versions of favorite Asian dishes – made with seven ingredients or less! 

These are by no means the most authentic Asian recipes you’ll find, they’re instead simplified dishes that you can quickly whip up when you’re pressed for time but are in the mood for some Asian flavors.
