Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ounces flat rice noodles (linguini or fettuccini width)
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil
5 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 1 lime
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon dried red chili flakes
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 pound large (31/35) shrimp, peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen
Salt
⅔ pound (10 oz.) 1-inch broccoli florets
4 green onions, light and dark green parts, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup fresh bean sprouts, plus more for garnish if desired
¼ cup coarsely chopped dry roasted peanuts
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Off the heat, add the noodles. Let sit, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until softened but still al dente, 5-20 minutes. (Note that the time varies greatly depending on the type of noodle and brand. The noodles I use -- Thai Kitchen Stir Fry Noodles -- take 20 minutes, even though it says 8-10 minutes on the package). Drain and rinse well with cold water. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter, sugar and dried chili flakes. Set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and shrimp; season with ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, a few minutes. Transfer the shrimp, garlic and ginger to a large bowl, using a rubber spatula to scrape the pan clean.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Add the broccoli, ¼ cup of water and ¼ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring constantly, until the broccoli is cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli to the bowl with the shrimp.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the hot pan. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Add to the bowl with the shrimp and broccoli.
  • Add 4 tablespoons oil to the hot pan. Add the drained noodles to the pan, along with the fish sauce mixture. Cook, tossing the noodles gently so as not to break them, until perfectly cooked, a few minutes. Add the shrimp, broccoli and eggs to the pan, along with the green onions; toss gently to combine, cooking until everything is warmed through. Right before serving, sprinkle the bean sprouts, peanuts and cilantro over top and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with lime wedges and bean sprouts, if desired.

SHRIMP PAD THAI



Shrimp Pad Thai image

This take on the popular Thai noodle dish takes several liberties when it comes to ingredients-there's no egg or tamarind-but its jumble of shrimp, tofu, bean sprouts and peanuts delivers tons of taste and texture.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces flat Thai rice noodles
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup raw or turbinado sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons hot Asian chili sauce (sambal oelek or sriracha)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound large shrimp, butterflied with the shells on
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 12-ounce package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 radishes, cut into thin strips
4 scallions, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2 cups bean sprouts
2 jalapeno peppers (red and green), seeded and thinly sliced into strips

Steps:

  • Soak the noodles in a bowl of warm water until soft enough to separate, about 10 minutes. Mix the fish sauce, sugar, chili sauce and lime juice in a separate bowl. When the noodles are soft, drain and return to the bowl. Put the bowls and other ingredients next to the stove (this dish cooks quickly).
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the vegetable oil, then add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl using a slotted spoon; leave the oil in the pan. Add the garlic and tofu to the pan; stir-fry until just golden. Add the noodles and 1/4 cup fish-sauce mixture; stir-fry until the noodles absorb the sauce, about 3 minutes. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the noodles seem dry, but don't let them become mushy.
  • Add the radishes, scallions and 1/4 cup peanuts; toss to combine. Stir in the remaining fish-sauce mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning (you can add more water, lime juice or fish sauce).
  • Return the shrimp to the pan and heat through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a platter; top with bean sprouts, jalapenos and the remaining 1/4 cup peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.

THE BEST SHRIMP PAD THAI



The Best Shrimp Pad Thai image

Just like your favorite Thai takeout-but better. In Thailand, you'll find street vendors whipping up this noodle dish to order from scratch. There are numerous variations of the ingredients used to achieve the perfect sweet, sour and umami noodle dish. We've chosen to use sriracha in our version for its warming heat and sweetness. It also adds a nice color. In quick-cooking stir-fry dishes, it's imperative to have all your ingredients prepped and ready-to-go before you start cooking.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 ounces flat rice stick noodles
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate or tamarind paste (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more lime wedges for serving
1 to 3 tablespoons sriracha, depending on the desired heat level
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup cubed extra-firm tofu (1-by-1/2-inch cubes)
12 medium peeled and deveined shrimp (about 5 ounces)
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3 thin scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces (halved legthwise if large)
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
  • Stir together the fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind concentrate, lime juice and sriracha in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Push the tofu to the side, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the shrimp and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Push to the side with the tofu, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add beaten egg to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and chopping to break up, until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Push the egg to the side with the tofu and shrimp. Add the peppers to the skillet and cook just to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the noodles, scallions, bean sprouts and sauce to the skillet. Incorporate the tofu, shrimp and egg into the ingredients and stir fry, coating the ingredients with the sauce and simmering to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and top with chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Chop and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to stir the soup and prevent it from boiling over.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much shrimp or vegetables at once, the soup will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp in batches: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Add the noodles at the end: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Season to taste: Add more fish sauce, lime juice, or chili paste to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Shrimp pad Thai soup is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp pad Thai soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
