SMASHED POTATOES WITH THAI-STYLE CHILE AND HERB SAUCE



Smashed Potatoes With Thai-Style Chile and Herb Sauce image

This recipe is inspired by suea rong hai, or "crying tiger," a Thai dish of grilled beef served with a fiery sauce of crushed Thai chile, fish sauce, lime juice, toasted rice powder and cilantro. Here, the bright and punchy sauce is the perfect foil to crispy roasted potatoes, but it would be just as welcome spooned over fried brussels sprouts, sautéed shrimp or grilled steak. Finally, while the sauce in this recipe is equal parts acidic and spicy, feel free to add more chile - including the seeds and ribs - to take the heat up a notch.

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     dinner, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds small new or Yukon gold potatoes (ideally about 1½-inch wide)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced Fresno or serrano chile, or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 garlic clove, grated
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus whole leaves for serving
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush a sheet pan all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are just fork tender. Pour into a colander to drain, then return the cooked potatoes to the pot off the heat to help any remaining moisture evaporate.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, chile, soy sauce, sugar and garlic, then stir in the cilantro and scallions.
  • Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, gently smash each potato until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over the potatoes and carefully flip to coat both sides in oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a platter, sprinkle lightly with salt, then spoon the sauce on top. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot.

THAI SHRIMP & POTATOES



Thai Shrimp & Potatoes image

Thai Shrimp & Potatoes Shrimp and Grits was the inspriation for this dish. I wanted to create a unique dish with the Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes, along with a shrimp. My family LOVES mashed potatoes as well as shrimp, so I thought I'd try to come up with an entree that included both of our favorites! I invited a group of friends over to do the "taste testing" and this recipe won everybody over! One tip: don't throw out the bacon fat! Reserve your bacon fat and use it when cooking. It's not like we are adding tons of fat to the recipe here, just enough to help bring out the flavor. You can use any dry white wine, but I perfer to use a Sauvignon Blanc in this recipe because of the citrus level. Also, I love the brand "Taste of Asia" Sweet Chili Sauce, but feel free to choose the brand you love. I hope you enjoy making this recipe for your friends and family!

SHRIMP PAD THAI



Shrimp Pad Thai image

Pad Thai is Thailand's national dish, but not because it is traditional. The government codified it in the 1930s as a way of encouraging national pride in the unique ingredients of Thailand. It has been adopted and adapted all over the country, but one constant is that the dish is made almost entirely of long-lasting ingredients like rice noodles and tamarind, making it easy on the home cook. The savory, tart sauce is very simple to assemble, and it lasts well in the fridge. Watcharee Limanon, a cooking teacher in Yarmouth, Maine, who shared this recipe, said that although salty dried shrimp are used in the original recipe, many Thai cooks (and most of her students) now prefer fresh shrimp.

Categories     noodles, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces sen lek (dried 1/8-inch-wide flat rice noodles​) or other pad Thai noodles
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 cup minced Thai sweet preserved radish (optional; see Tip)
10 to 12 peeled and deveined medium shrimp
8 ounces superfirm (pressed) tofu or drained extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-size cubes or rectangles (1 cup)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups bean sprouts
1 small bunch garlic chives or scallion greens, cut into 1-inch lengths (1/2 cup)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for cooking eggs
Chopped peanuts, chile powder and lime wedges, for serving
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup tamarind liquid or concentrate
1/3 cup coconut or other palm sugar or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the noodles: Place dried noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let soak for 20 to 30 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients, allowing the water to cool, and stirring and separating the noodles occasionally with your hands. When ready, noodles will be white, limp and almost soft to the bite. (They will cook a little more later on.) Pour off all the water, fluff noodles with your hands, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the fish sauce, tamarind and coconut palm sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often, just until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Line up the ingredients in the order they'll be cooked: Place the garlic, shallot, radish and shrimp in a bowl, then line up the tofu, noodles, sauce, eggs, bean sprouts and chives. When ready to cook, place 1 cup of hot tap water near the stove.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a 14-inch wok, a heavy 12-inch skillet or a large Dutch oven medium-high heat until shimmering. (If using a smaller pan, cook in 2 batches.) Add the contents of the garlic bowl and stir-fry over medium heat, adjusting the flame so the ingredients are sizzling but not popping or scorching, until the shrimp are nearly pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tofu and stir-fry to heat through, about 2 minutes.
  • Add noodles and raise the heat as high as it goes, tossing and separating them with a wok turner, tongs or both. When noodles are sizzling, add about half the sauce and 1 tablespoon water, and stir-fry, tossing to coat and cook through.
  • Taste a noodle for doneness and seasoning. If needed, add more sauce and water, and keep cooking, turning often, until noodles are softened and savory.
  • Push noodles to one side of the pan, add enough oil to lightly coat the other side, and add the eggs. Use the spatula to scramble the eggs, stirring and scraping until cooked through and just dry, 1 to 2 minutes, then stir them into the noodles.
  • Add the bean sprouts and chives, and stir to combine. Serve immediately, passing the peanuts, chile powder and lime wedges to adjust seasoning to taste.

SHRIMP AND SWEET POTATO FRITTERS



Shrimp and Sweet Potato Fritters image

Golden orange and crispy, this Hanoi specialty blends the fragrance and crunch of sweet potatoes with the brininess of shrimp. The fritters, which look like roughly formed nests on which whole shrimp rest, are cut into bite-sized pieces and bundled in lettuce with fresh herbs and cucumber. My mother taught me to soak the potatoes with a bit of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), which Southeast Asian and Indian cooks use to crisp ingredients for frying and pickling. It is basically moistened food-grade slaked lime powder, the same compound used to treat corn for making Mexican masa. The Vietnamese call it voi and it is sold in small, round plastic containers in Chinese, Thai, and Viet markets, usually stocked in the flour aisle. Two varieties are available, red and white. I prefer the white one, though the red one, which has been colored by the heartwood of the cutch tree and is traditionally chewed with betel leaf, may also be used. A small container of slaked lime lasts for a long time because only a little is needed.

Yield Makes 12 fritters, to serve 2 or 3 as a one-dish meal, or 4 as a light main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large Garnet sweet potato, 3/4 pound
1/4 teaspoon slaked lime paste, preferably white variety
3 cups water
Corn or canola oil for deep-frying
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rice flour, any Thai brand
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 pinches of ground turmeric
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1/2 pound small white shrimp in their shells (see opposite), legs and tails trimmed
Vegetable Garnish Plate (page 313), preferably with the addition of red perilla and Vietnamese balm
3/4 cup Basic Dipping Sauce made with garlic (page 308)

Steps:

  • Peel the sweet potato and cut it into flat, skinny sticks about 2 inches long, 1/4 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick. (Think of them as short lengths of very thick fettuccine.) It is okay if the sticks are not all the same length, or if they come out a little rough looking.
  • In a large bowl, dissolve the slaked lime paste in the water. Add the sweet potato sticks and set aside to soak for 4 hours.
  • Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a wok or a 5-quart Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, stand a dry bamboo chopstick in the oil; if small bubbles immediately gather on the surface around the chopstick, the oil is ready.) Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet next to the stove.
  • While the oil is heating, make the batter. In a bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, and turmeric. Use a rubber spatula to gradually stir in the water to make a smooth, thick batter. Drain the sweet potato and add to the batter, mixing to coat well. The batter will seem gluey.
  • Fry the fritters in batches to avoid crowding them in the pan. Using 2 large metal spoons, scoop up about 1/4 cup of the batter into 1 spoon and flatten it with the back of the second spoon. Arrange 3 shrimp on top, pressing them gently into the batter to ensure they stick. Lower the spoon just to touch the oil, and then use the second spoon to slide the fritter gently into the hot oil. Fry the fritters, turning once, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden orange and the potatoes are cooked through. Use a skimmer or slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to the rack to drain.
  • Before serving, use kitchen scissors to cut the fritters into quarters, making sure that each piece gets some shrimp. Serve with the vegetable garnish plate and dipping sauce. To eat, tear a piece of lettuce roughly the size of your palm, top with a piece of fritter, add cucumber slices and a few herb leaves, shape into a bundle, and dunk into the dipping sauce.
  • Vietnamese cooks often use shell-on small shrimp in foods because the shells contribute fragrance and crunch. Small white shrimp (61 to 70 shrimp per pound), which have very thin shells, are ideal. You will find them at Asian and Latin markets. For the crepe recipes on pages 274 and 277, you may peel the shrimp first if you don't like the idea of chewing on the shells. Be sure to leave the shells on when making these sweet potato fritters, however, or they will dry out. For details on trimming the feet and tail, see page 115.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling halfway through the recipe.
  • Properly Clean and Devein Shrimp: To ensure the best taste and texture, devein the shrimp before cooking. Deveining involves removing the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp. You can use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and then remove the vein.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the most flavorful results, use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh shrimp, potatoes, and vegetables will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp becomes tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for this recipe because it allows you to stir-fry the ingredients quickly and evenly.
  • Add Vegetables Last: Add the vegetables last so that they retain their crunch and color.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp and vegetables will be at their best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Thai shrimp and potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its combination of tender shrimp, crispy potatoes, and flavorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with some steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
