Pad Thai recipes


Anyone have any of these?

The recipe seems to vary in all parts of Thailand. I have found some to be taste too much like shrimp paste so I don't use as much.

My recipe (well the one I like best) is:

Heat a wok, put in about a teaspoon of peanut oil, make a two egg omelette. Roll it up, slice and put aside.

Sauce: a dash of fish oil, a teaspoon of shrimp paste ( to taste), a tablespoon of palm suger, add some chilli (two small ones - hot). a tablespoon of tamarind paste and some chopped shallots. grind the chillis, shallots with a mortar and pestle, add the rest. You can also add some glangal which isn't as overpowering as ginger.

Stir fry either chicken pieces or green prawns and put aside. Stir fry some vegetable (whatever you like) I generally use celery and cabbage, string beans.

Add the meat and sauce and little water. so it steams a little.

Grinner We're not chefs, heaven forbid! We're a pack of foodies who enjoy dinner table conversation, not to say the occasional argument about entirely non-food related topics...

Grinner I don't generally watch TV cooking shows, apart from Iron Chef. I think I might have seen Huey in action at some stage. Let me make...

Boil some water, add some rice noodles until soft (a minute or so) then drain. Add noodles to the mix, and some bean sprouts just before serving or perhaps just serve these fresh.

Serve with the egg over the top, some chopped coriander and chopped peanuts.

Yummo!
