PAD THAI (THAI STIR-FRIED NOODLES)

Pad Thai (Thai Stir-Fried Noodles) image

A native Thai woman made this for a Thai cooking class. This is how she learned to make it from her mother. We tasted the dish and it was great. We did not have Pad Thai sauce with it but she said the store bought type was fine. Vegetables or tofu may be substituted for the chicken. She noted that overcooked noodles do not stir-fry well and do not look good. If using fresh noodles, instead of dried, they will cook in less than 1 minute.

Categories main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

8 ounces dried wide rice noodles
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
3 tablespoons tamarind juice
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled with tails on
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 shallots, sliced
1 fresh red chile, sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1/2 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
1 lime, cut into small wedges
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

Soak the dried rice noodles in cool or lukewarm water for 30 minutes, or until they're limp but still firm to the touch; later cooking in the wok will soften them more. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, tamarind juice, and sugar; stir well to melt the sugar. Taste and adjust flavors to the desired combination of salty, sour, and sweet.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat until it is smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and quickly stir-fry the shrimp until they turn pink and are almost cooked through; 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add the remaining oil to the wok and toss in the garlic, shallots, and chile; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Push the garlic and shallots to 1 side of the wok and pour the egg into the center. Scramble the egg lightly until set, breaking it up into pieces with a spatula. Add the drained noodles to the wok, stirring and tossing quickly with 2 spatulas to separate the strands. Pour in the fish sauce mixture, tossing well to coat the noodles and keep them from sticking (if the noodles are still too firm, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to help them cook.)
When the noodles are in good shape, toss in 1/2 of the bean sprouts and peanuts; save the remaining for garnish. Continue to stir-fry, to combine. Return the shrimp to the wok and toss the pad thai together to warm everything through. Serve the pad thai on a platter, pile the remaining bean sprouts and peanuts on 1 side of the dish and garnish with the lime wedges and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over each portion before eating.

Time 20m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) package rice stick noodles (rice vermicelli)
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic
5 ounces Chicken, broilers or fryers, thigh, meat only, raw
1 cup small broccoli florets
1 large egg

Steps:

Place rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until tender, 4 to 8 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water and leave in a colander to drain.
Combine oyster sauce, water, dark and regular soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl.
Place a wok over high heat; add oil and mince garlic straight into the wok. Heat until oil is hot and garlic is starting to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add chicken and broccoli; stir-fry for 1 minute. Move chicken and broccoli to one side. Crack egg into the skillet and scramble it, about 1 minute.
Add noodles and sauce; fold gently to combine, until sauce evenly coats the noodles and caramelizes a bit, and chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips:

Use wide rice noodles. These noodles are flat and have a chewy texture that holds up well to the stir-frying process.
Soak the rice noodles before cooking. This will help to soften them and make them easier to stir-fry.
Use a wok or large skillet. This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the noodles and vegetables.
Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the noodles and vegetables.
Add the noodles and vegetables to the wok or skillet in batches. This will help to prevent the noodles from sticking together and the vegetables from becoming overcooked.
Stir-fry the noodles and vegetables for a few minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Add the sauce and continue to stir-fry for a few more minutes. This will help to evenly coat the noodles and vegetables with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.
