This is what I normally cook, and my thai friends love it!.
The ingredients listed below can be somewhat intimidating but many are optional!. If you would like to make authentic Pad Thai, just like in Thailand, use all the ingredients!.
Pad Thai is another perfect vegetarian dish, just omit shrimp and substitute soy sauce for fish sauce!. Add more tofu if you like!.
4 teaspoons fish sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground dried chili pepper
ground pepper
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon tamarind
1/2 package Thai rice noodles
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2-1/4 lb shrimp Optional
1/2 banana flower Optional
1/3 cup tofu - extra firm Optional
1-1/2 cup Chinese chives - green Optional
2 tablespoons peanuts Optional
1-1/3 cup bean sprouts Optional
1 tablespoon preserved turnip Optional
Shrimp can be substituted or omitted!.
Soak the dry noodles in lukewarm water while preparing the other ingredients, for 5-10 minutes!. Julienne tofu and cut into 1 inch long matchsticks!. When cut, the extra firm tofu should have a mozzarella cheese consistency!. Cut up Chinese chives into 1 inch long pieces!. Set aside a few fresh chives for a garnish!. Rinse the bean sprouts and save half for serving fresh!. Mince shallot and garlic together!.
Use a wok!. If you do not have a wok, any big pot will do!. Heat it up on high heat and pour oil in the wok!. Fry the peanuts until toasted and remove them from the wok!. Add shallot, garlic and tofu and stir them until they start to brown!. The noodles should be flexible but not expanded at this point!. Drain the noodles and add to the wok!. Stir quickly to keep things from sticking!. Add tamarind, sugar, fish sauce, chili pepper and preserved turnip!. Stir!. The heat should remain high!. If your wok is not hot enough, you will see a lot of juice in the wok at this point!. Turn up the heat, if it is the case!. Make room for the egg by pushing all noodles to the side of the wok!. Crack the egg onto the wok and scramble it until it is almost all cooked!. Fold the egg into the noodles!. Add shrimp and stir!. Add bean sprouts, chives!. Stir a few more times!. The noodles should be soft and very tangled!.
Pour onto the serving plate and sprinkle with peanuts!. Serve hot with the banana flower slice and a wedge of lime on the side and raw Chinese chives and raw bean sprouts on top!.
As always, in Thailand, condiments such as sugar, chili pepper, vinegar and fish sauce are available at your table for your personal taste!. Some people add more pepper or sugar at this point!.
Voila!!!
