PAD KEE MAO



Pad Kee Mao image

This stir-fry of rice noodles and ground pork gives Pad Thai a serious run for its money. Pad kee mao translates loosely to "drunken noodles," though there's no alcohol here - just an easy-to-assemble dish that skews salty, sour and spicy from a glaze of fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar and fresh chiles. Fatty ground pork imparts a lot of flavor, though you could swap in ground chicken or even firm tofu. If you're sensitive to heat, leave out the smashed chiles, to finish - and add a pinch of sugar to offset the salty punch of the dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons dark sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
6 garlic cloves
5 bird's eye chiles
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
12 ounces fresh rice noodles
2 handfuls holy basil leaves (or Thai basil, in a pinch)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce and vinegar, and set aside. Roughly chop the garlic and three chiles together. Smash the remaining two chiles using the flat of a knife, and set aside.
  • Heat a wok (or a large frying pan over medium-high. When it's hot, add the oil, the chopped garlic and chiles, and the onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pork and a splash of the fish sauce mixture. Cook, stirring to break up the meat, until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers and noodles, turn the heat to high and add almost all of the sauce (save a spoonful or two to add later, if needed). Cook, tossing everything together and separating the noodles if necessary, until the noodles are coated in sauce and take on a slightly charred flavor from the wok. Taste, and add more sauce if needed. Toss in the basil and the smashed chiles, and serve immediately.

PAD KEE MAO



Pad Kee Mao image

Pad Kee Mao translates to 'Drunken Stir Fry' in English. This is one variation of many such 'drunken' dishes that are commonly hawked by street-side vendors in Bangkok. The 'drunken' description comes from the fact that it originated in late-night revelers' kitchens after stumbling home from the nightclubs in the wee hours of the morning.

3 ½ ounces dried Thai-style rice noodles, wide (such as Chantaboon Rice Noodles)
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon thick soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon thick soy sauce

Stir in the soaked noodles, 1/2 teaspoon of thick soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of sugar, and cook and stir until the noodles have absorbed the soy sauce and turned brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the noodles from the skillet.

Raise the heat to medium-high, and stir in the pork, serrano pepper, basil, 1/2 teaspoon thick soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and salt. Cook and stir until the pork is no longer pink and the edges of the meat are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Return the noodles to the wok, and stir in the bean sprouts. Cook and stir until heated through, about 5 more minutes.

PAD KEE MOW (DRUNKARD'S NOODLES)



Pad Kee Mow (Drunkard's Noodles) image

Pad Kee Mow, or Drunkard's Noodles, is a popular Thai dish. It is my personal favorite when visiting any Thai restaurant. It is made differently by every cook. My girlfriend and I experimented to come up with this version. Feel free to make alterations to suit your own taste! Many ingredients (Thai basil, fish sauce, palm sugar, etc.) may be difficult to find in a regular supermarket, but you can most likely find them in an Asian market.
