Thaied up...
So, over Thanksgiving break, my youngest cousin showed me up. Badly. He created a Thai meal. From scratch. And it was delicious! And he made it for chicken AND shrimp. I've included the recipe below. We're all pretending I'm not way older and have never done something like this:
J's Pad Thai (enough for 2. Triple to feed 7!)
Sauce 1
- 3 tbsp limejuice
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar: 3 tbsp water
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Combine all in small saucepan and boil. Reduce sauce slightly. Set aside and let cool.
Sauce 2
- 3 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp minced cilantro
Combine all in glass/porcelain bowl, stir well, set aside
- 4 oz rice noodles
- 1 qt cold water
- Oils(your choice) enough for stir frying
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 egg plus 1 tsp milk, little salt
- ½ tsp mince lemongrass
- 1 tsp chopped shallots
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
-
- As many shrimp or as much chicken as needed
- ½ cup bean sprouts
- julienne green onions
- wedges of lime
Soak rice noodles in cold water until softened
Prepare all vegetables before starting to cook (the cilantro, garlic, shallots, etc).
Add oil to giant skillet or wok and fry meat. Remove meat after it's cooked.
Fry egg lightly after well stirred in separate bowl. Slice egg into small pieces, add butter to the cooked egg.
Add oils and stir lemongrass in. Add remaining ingredients and noodle, then finally add Sauce 1 &2…blend well in skillet
Make 3 small bowls with minced peanuts, peeled carrots, bean sprouts. Allow guests to add to taste. (Add lime wedges in small bowl too.)
