SHRIMP PAD THAI



Shrimp Pad Thai image

This take on the popular Thai noodle dish takes several liberties when it comes to ingredients-there's no egg or tamarind-but its jumble of shrimp, tofu, bean sprouts and peanuts delivers tons of taste and texture.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces flat Thai rice noodles
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup raw or turbinado sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons hot Asian chili sauce (sambal oelek or sriracha)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound large shrimp, butterflied with the shells on
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 12-ounce package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 radishes, cut into thin strips
4 scallions, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2 cups bean sprouts
2 jalapeno peppers (red and green), seeded and thinly sliced into strips

Steps:

  • Soak the noodles in a bowl of warm water until soft enough to separate, about 10 minutes. Mix the fish sauce, sugar, chili sauce and lime juice in a separate bowl. When the noodles are soft, drain and return to the bowl. Put the bowls and other ingredients next to the stove (this dish cooks quickly).
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the vegetable oil, then add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl using a slotted spoon; leave the oil in the pan. Add the garlic and tofu to the pan; stir-fry until just golden. Add the noodles and 1/4 cup fish-sauce mixture; stir-fry until the noodles absorb the sauce, about 3 minutes. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the noodles seem dry, but don't let them become mushy.
  • Add the radishes, scallions and 1/4 cup peanuts; toss to combine. Stir in the remaining fish-sauce mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning (you can add more water, lime juice or fish sauce).
  • Return the shrimp to the pan and heat through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a platter; top with bean sprouts, jalapenos and the remaining 1/4 cup peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.

SHRIMP PAD THAI



Shrimp Pad Thai image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

3 tablespoons tamarind pulp
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
1 pound shrimp (21-25) size, shelled and deveined
12 ounces dried flat rice noodles (1/4-inch wide; sometimes called pad Thai or banh pho)
3 tablespoons tamarind (from a pliable block)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup packed Muscavado light brown sugar
2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
1 1/2 cups peanut or vegetable oil
4 large shallots, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 (14 to 16-ounce) package firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon water
1 bunch scallions, green and pale green parts, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups bean sprouts (1/4 pound)
Thai basil leaves
Cilantro leaves
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Place tamarind in a bowl, cover with the boiling water and let sit until softened. Press the pulp through a sieve into a bowl and discard seeds and solids.
  • Combine orange juice, tamarind pulp, vinegar, honey, basil and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a mesh strainer. Return to the blender, with the motor running, slowly add 6 tablespoons of the oil and blend until emulsified.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Season shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Stir in the tamarind glaze, turn the shrimp over and continue cooking until shrimp is cooked through and glazed.
  • Soak noodles in a large bowl of warm water until softened but not overly soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain well in a colander and cover with a dampened paper towel.
  • Place the tamarind in a bowl and cover with the boiling water, let sit until soft, about 10 minutes. Force the mixture through a sieve (including the water) into a bowl, discarding seeds and fibers. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and hot sauce to the tamarind, stirring until sugar has dissolved, set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or a large saute pan over medium heat until hot, then fry half of the shallots over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Reheat shallot oil in wok over high heat until hot. Fry tofu in 1 layer, gently turning occasionally, until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer tofu to paper towels using a slotted spoon. Transfer the frying oil to a heatproof glass and reserve.
  • Lightly beat eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and a tablespoon of water. Heat 2 tablespoons of the shallot oil in a wok or saute pan over high heat until it shimmers. Add eggs and swirl to coat the side of the wok, then cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until cooked through. Break into chunks with spatula and transfer to a plate.
  • Heat wok over medium heat, add 6 tablespoons of the shallot oil, then swirl to coat side of wok. Stir-fry scallions, garlic, and remaining uncooked shallots until softened, about 1 minute.
  • Add noodles and stir-fry over medium for about 2 minutes. Add tofu, bean sprouts, and 1 1/2 cups sauce and simmer, turning noodles over to absorb sauce evenly, until noodles are tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in additional sauce, if desired, then stir in the eggs. Transfer to a large shallow serving dish and top with the shrimp, crispy shallots, Thai basil, cilantro and peanuts. Serve lime wedges on the side.

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

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.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients in Advance: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all the ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
  • Use Quality Shrimp: Fresh or frozen shrimp can be used for this recipe. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Make Sure the Noodles Are Properly Cooked: Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and unpleasant to eat.
