Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 ounces dry brown rice noodles
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (or canola oil)
8 ounces medium or large shrimp
2 cloves garlic (minced)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup bean sprouts* ((see note))
1/2 cup freshly grated carrots
2 large green onions ((or 3 small) finely chopped)
1/4 cup peanuts (finely chopped )
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Lime wedges (for serving)
2 tablespoons fish sauce** (gluten free if needed (see note))
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar ((I used seasoned))
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey (plus additional 1-2 teaspoons to taste)
1-3 teaspoons ground chile sauce (sambal oelek) (or chili garlic sauce)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. They should be soft but not mushy. Drain and rinse under cool water.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: fish sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce. If you prefer a sweeter pad thai, add additional honey (or even a little brown sugar). For spicier, add additional chili paste.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute just until the shrimp begins to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and noodles. Stir continuously to coat the noodles and shrimp with the garlic, then push the ingredients in the skillet over to one side of the pan.
  • Crack the eggs into the empty side of the skillet. Break apart the yolk with the spatula and let cook for 30 seconds, until just beginning to set. Stir the egg in with the noodles. Stir in the sauce.
  • Add the bean sprouts, carrots, and chopped green onions and let cook until the bean sprouts are crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Sprinkle on the peanuts and cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

THE BEST SHRIMP PAD THAI



The Best Shrimp Pad Thai image

Just like your favorite Thai takeout-but better. In Thailand, you'll find street vendors whipping up this noodle dish to order from scratch. There are numerous variations of the ingredients used to achieve the perfect sweet, sour and umami noodle dish. We've chosen to use sriracha in our version for its warming heat and sweetness. It also adds a nice color. In quick-cooking stir-fry dishes, it's imperative to have all your ingredients prepped and ready-to-go before you start cooking.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 ounces flat rice stick noodles
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate or tamarind paste (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more lime wedges for serving
1 to 3 tablespoons sriracha, depending on the desired heat level
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup cubed extra-firm tofu (1-by-1/2-inch cubes)
12 medium peeled and deveined shrimp (about 5 ounces)
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3 thin scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces (halved legthwise if large)
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
  • Stir together the fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind concentrate, lime juice and sriracha in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Push the tofu to the side, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the shrimp and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Push to the side with the tofu, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add beaten egg to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and chopping to break up, until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Push the egg to the side with the tofu and shrimp. Add the peppers to the skillet and cook just to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the noodles, scallions, bean sprouts and sauce to the skillet. Incorporate the tofu, shrimp and egg into the ingredients and stir fry, coating the ingredients with the sauce and simmering to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and top with chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

PAD THAI WITH CHICKEN AND SHRIMP



Pad Thai With Chicken and Shrimp image

PLEASE NOTE: This calls for one 1/2 pound package of noodles. Not one pound. Not a pound and a half. I'm not sure how else to write it so that it's clearer. I think this is a great Pad Thai recipe - quick and easy. It's certainly a favourite in our house. I would suggest making a double batch of the sauce, so the dish is even more flavorful. For those with milder tastes, cut back on the red pepper flakes. The recipe as is has quite a bite to it. This isn't a "authentic" Pad Thai recipe, so if that's what you are looking for, then this may not be it.

Provided by Ian Magary

Categories     Thai

Time 50m

Yield 1 order pad thai

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 (16 ounce) bottle tamarind soup mix (Sour Soup Base Mix)
1 (16 ounce) package palm sugar
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 cup fish sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 -4 teaspoons chili flakes, thai style or
2 -4 teaspoons chili powder
1 (8 ounce) package rice noodles
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined or
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized hunks
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 bunch chives, thai style has a earthier taste or
1 bunch chives, or
4 green onions
1 cup bean sprouts
1 lime, cut into small wedges
1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
fried tofu (optional)
cilantro (fresh)

Steps:

  • For the sauce:.
  • Heat a deep frying pan or small pot over medium low heat adding all ingredients except the chili powder.
  • Cook the sauce until the palm sugar and regular white granulated sugar have dissolved. Taste the sauce at this point and add a little more sugar if too sour. The end result should be a well balance sweet/sour flavor.
  • To make it more spicy, add in the optional Thai chili flakes or chili powder to taste.
  • Remove from heat, allow to cool and store in a jar until needed for the main dish.
  • For the Pad Thai:.
  • Note: Soak the dried or fresh rice noodles in cold water for up to a day in advance. If you boil a pot of water while cooking the Pad Thai, you can quickly dip the noodles you're going to use with a small strainer and watch them "melt" and become translucent. This only takes a few seconds; quickly drain and throw them in the wok when you get to that step.
  • Heat up a wok and add oil. When the oil is near its smoke point, add the minced garlic and do a few quick stirs. Add chicken and shrimp into the wok stirring until half-cooked, then add the tofu pieces (if using). Add the eggs, stirring about to do a scramble of sorts.
  • Dip, drain and stir in the noodles at this point. Add enough of the Pad Thai sauce to your taste. add the bean sprouts and chives shortly before removing from heat.
  • Serve with some peanuts sprinkled on top, fresh bean sprouts and lime wedges. Garnish with cilantro.

SHRIMP PAD THAI



Shrimp Pad Thai image

Pad Thai is Thailand's national dish, but not because it is traditional. The government codified it in the 1930s as a way of encouraging national pride in the unique ingredients of Thailand. It has been adopted and adapted all over the country, but one constant is that the dish is made almost entirely of long-lasting ingredients like rice noodles and tamarind, making it easy on the home cook. The savory, tart sauce is very simple to assemble, and it lasts well in the fridge. Watcharee Limanon, a cooking teacher in Yarmouth, Maine, who shared this recipe, said that although salty dried shrimp are used in the original recipe, many Thai cooks (and most of her students) now prefer fresh shrimp.

Categories     noodles, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces sen lek (dried 1/8-inch-wide flat rice noodles​) or other pad Thai noodles
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 cup minced Thai sweet preserved radish (optional; see Tip)
10 to 12 peeled and deveined medium shrimp
8 ounces superfirm (pressed) tofu or drained extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-size cubes or rectangles (1 cup)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups bean sprouts
1 small bunch garlic chives or scallion greens, cut into 1-inch lengths (1/2 cup)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for cooking eggs
Chopped peanuts, chile powder and lime wedges, for serving
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup tamarind liquid or concentrate
1/3 cup coconut or other palm sugar or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the noodles: Place dried noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let soak for 20 to 30 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients, allowing the water to cool, and stirring and separating the noodles occasionally with your hands. When ready, noodles will be white, limp and almost soft to the bite. (They will cook a little more later on.) Pour off all the water, fluff noodles with your hands, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the fish sauce, tamarind and coconut palm sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often, just until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Line up the ingredients in the order they'll be cooked: Place the garlic, shallot, radish and shrimp in a bowl, then line up the tofu, noodles, sauce, eggs, bean sprouts and chives. When ready to cook, place 1 cup of hot tap water near the stove.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a 14-inch wok, a heavy 12-inch skillet or a large Dutch oven medium-high heat until shimmering. (If using a smaller pan, cook in 2 batches.) Add the contents of the garlic bowl and stir-fry over medium heat, adjusting the flame so the ingredients are sizzling but not popping or scorching, until the shrimp are nearly pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tofu and stir-fry to heat through, about 2 minutes.
  • Add noodles and raise the heat as high as it goes, tossing and separating them with a wok turner, tongs or both. When noodles are sizzling, add about half the sauce and 1 tablespoon water, and stir-fry, tossing to coat and cook through.
  • Taste a noodle for doneness and seasoning. If needed, add more sauce and water, and keep cooking, turning often, until noodles are softened and savory.
  • Push noodles to one side of the pan, add enough oil to lightly coat the other side, and add the eggs. Use the spatula to scramble the eggs, stirring and scraping until cooked through and just dry, 1 to 2 minutes, then stir them into the noodles.
  • Add the bean sprouts and chives, and stir to combine. Serve immediately, passing the peanuts, chile powder and lime wedges to adjust seasoning to taste.

Tips:

  • To save time, buy pre-cooked shrimp and chicken. If using raw shrimp, devein and cook them before adding to the pad thai.
  • If you don't have tamarind paste, you can substitute lemon juice or white vinegar.
  • Use a wide pan or wok to cook the pad thai. This will help the noodles cook evenly.
  • Add the noodles to the pan last. This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the pad thai immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Conclusion:

Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new dinner recipe, give Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp a try!
