Pad Thai
I promised my Pad Thai recipe to a couple of people, so here it is:
12 oz wide rice noodles (pad thai noodles)
2 tblsp vegetable oil
1 cup bean sprouts
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
4 green onions, trimmed and sliced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
16 oz firm tofu, or 16 oz prawns, peeled and deveined, or a combination
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tblsp ketchup
2 dried red chilies (I used Thai bird peppers)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts (or you can roast raw ones in a skillet)
Lime wedges
Fresh cilantro
Soak rice noodles in hot water for 10-15 minutes, or until a little soft but not squishy. Drain.
Mix fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and ketchup together and set aside.
Dry-roast chilies in a small pan until browned. Cut off stems, but leave seeds (unless you don't want it too spicy). Grind in a food processor or clean coffee grinder. Grind peanuts until chopped but not until they turn into peanut butter. Set both chilies and peanuts aside.
Drain tofu, and press lightly with a paper towel to remove excess water. Slice tofu into cubes or strips.
Heat oil in a wok until hot but not smoking. Add garlic and green onions and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add tofu, if using, and stir-fry until golden brown. Add prawns and stir-fry until just pink. Add noodles and stir gently to mix with oil. Pour fish sauce mixture on and stir to mix. Cook until sauce is mostly absorbed and noodles are soft, stirring occasionally.
Push noodles aside and pour in a little more oil. Pour in eggs and cover with noodles. Let cook until almost set, then stir to mix with noodles. Add bean sprouts and mix again, then remove from heat.
Put in a bowl and sprinkle with cilantro, ground chilies, and ground peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.
