QUICK VEGGIE PAD THAI



Quick Veggie Pad Thai image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

12 ounces pad thai noodles (thin rice noodles)
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons chile garlic sauce
3 limes, zested and juiced
4 scallions, sliced thin, whites and greens separated
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 small bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch segments
1 large red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup bean sprouts, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Sriracha for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place the noodles in a large bowl and completely cover with boiling water. Allow them to soak and soften while you prepare the sauce and vegetables, checking and tossing the noodles occasionally to separate them and see when they are ready (they will still have a bit of a bite), 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • For the sauce: Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, fish sauce, chile garlic sauce, lime zest and juice in a blender, along with the whites of the scallions, garlic and ginger. Blend to combine, 15 to 20 seconds. Set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Next, throw in the asparagus and red bell pepper, cooking for another minute or two. Push the veggies to the outer edge of the skillet and add the egg, stirring in the center of the skillet until the eggs scramble, then mix in with the vegetables. To ensure the vegetables keep their color and crunch, remove the vegetable-egg mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the noodles and the sauce to the hot skillet and stir to combine. Allow to come to a boil and cook, tossing to coat completely and allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vegetables back to the skillet and carefully toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water. Remove the skillet from the heat and toss in the bean sprouts. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the chopped peanuts, cilantro, reserved scallion greens and as much sriracha as your heart desires.

ALL-VEGETABLE PAD THAI



All-Vegetable Pad Thai image

A 'quick and easy to make' light, tasty dish. You could add Tofu or other high protein based foods to make it a more substantial meal. If you're interested in knowing more about the effects of the sprouting process, it actually improves many benefits that are already in the bean. The soaking/sprouting process increases the nutritional value of its' protein, which is required for many bodily functions from building bone and muscle tissue to carrying oxygen around the body. The vitamin content also increases in some beans, the vitamin C increases as the seed germinates which provides antioxidants to combat free radicals. The fibre content also increases substantially - fibre binds to fats and toxins and quickly flushes them from our system. It has a positive overall effect to say the least. As always, please check the labels to make sure that the products you use are suitable for your specific diets or allergies.

VEGETABLE PAD THAI



Vegetable Pad Thai image

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 1/3 ounces dried pad Thai rice noodles (see note)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 lime wedges for garnish
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground red Thai chilies or cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup peanut oil
8 green beans, trimmed
1 large egg
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise
1/4 large red bell pepper, cut into julienne
1 cup (lightly packed) thinly sliced Napa cabbage
2 scallions, halved crosswise and quartered lengthwise
1/2 cup finely diced firm tofu
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon pad Thai sauce (see note)
1/4 cup mixed chopped fresh basil and cilantro leaves
1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh bean sprouts
2 to 4 tablespoons coarsely chopped roasted salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Place noodles in a bowl and cover with very hot tap water. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the lime juice, brown sugar, ground chilies, paprika, Thai chili sauce and soy sauce; reserve. Drain noodles well, rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • Place oil in a wok over medium-high heat, and heat to 325 degrees. Add green beans and fry until wrinkled, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer beans to a plate, and discard all but 3 tablespoons of oil. Return to medium-high heat and add egg, stirring quickly to set it and scramble it slightly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • To the wok add red onion, bok choy, red bell pepper, Napa cabbage and scallions, tossing for 1 to 2 minutes. Add noodles and toss until coated with oil and almost softened. Add tofu, wrinkled beans and pad Thai sauce; toss until thoroughly heated.
  • Drizzle in reserved lime juice mixture and toss for 5 seconds. Remove pan from heat immediately, then add scrambled egg, basil and cilantro mixture, and bean sprouts. Transfer to a heated serving platter, and garnish with peanuts and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tamarind paste: This will give your Pad Thai a more authentic flavor. If you can't find tamarind paste, you can use lemon juice or lime juice instead.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Pad Thai noodles should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and difficult to stir-fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the noodles from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add the noodles and sauce last: The noodles and sauce should be added to the wok last, so that they don't overcook. Stir-fry the noodles and sauce until they are well combined and heated through.

Conclusion:

All-vegetable Pad Thai is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and carbohydrates. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Pad Thai that will impress your friends and family.
