Default Great Pad Thai Noodles

Pad Thai Noodles Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients:

* pack of prawns, or two chicken brests diced
* garlic, crushed
* two small onions, fine chopped
* a bell pepper, fine chopped
* four or five mushrooms
* one chilli pepper, fine chopped
* two eggs, beaten
* noodles for four people
* black pepper
* soy sauce
* fish sauce (opional)


Directions: put water on to boil, then add noodles. simultaneously, heat oil in a wok, add garlic and onions. fry, then add pepper and mushrooms, stir fry breifly, then add prawns (or chicken) and seasonings. when the meat is cooked add the egg, and stir. by this point the noodles want to be cooked and drained. while the egg is still fairly runny put in the noodles, and then stir well. The idea being to coat the noodles in the egg and seasoning mixture. like egg fried rice. Play with the seasonings, extra ginger is good, or chili powder or sauce if you like hotter thai food.

Place 10-14 oz.(or 1 package) Thai rice noodles in a pot of cool water (the noodles should be roughly the thickness of linguini). 10 oz. of dry noodles makes enough for 2 people. Allow noodles to soak for 1 hour, then drain.

If You're in a Hurry: Bring the water to a near-boil, then remove from heat. Soak noodles in this water for 10-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. The noodles should soften but not "cook". When they are tender enough to eat (but still firm and a little "crunchy"), drain and run through with cold water. Then pour 1 tsp. of canola oil onto noodles and mix through with your hands (this will keep them from sticking together).

Note: Be careful not to over-soften them, or they'll become soggy once they're stir-fried.

For this recipe, you will also need:

* 3 Tbsp. each of: fish sauce, rice vinegar (or white vinegar), and soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce for gluten-free diets)
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1-2 red chillies (2 makes this dish very spicy), minced
* 1 tsp. brown sugar
* 1/4 cup chicken broth
* 8-12 medium or large fresh raw prawns
* optional: 1/2 to 1 cup cooked chicken, and/or 1 cup tofu, cut into cubes
* 1 egg
* approximately 2 cups bean sprouts
* 1/2 cup each of fresh coriander and fresh basil
* 1 lime, cut into wedges
* canola oil, or other good-quality oil for stir-frying
* optional: 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, ground or roughly chopped
* optional: shrimp-flavored crushed chilli
