Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups pre-noodled sweet potato noodles
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp grater
2 dashes fish sauce

1/4 cup crushed salted roasted peanuts
3 scallions, minced
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

THAI SHRIMP



Thai Shrimp image

Here's the Asian way of chopping ginger: Scrape off the skin with the edge of a small spoon. Then cut it into very thin slices across the grain. Lay the slices in a single layer on half of a sheet of plastic wrap; fold the other half over the ginger. Pound the ginger slices with the flat side of a meat mallet. They'll separate into natural fibers. Scrape them together and chop them into small pieces. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

THAI SHRIMP CURRY



Thai Shrimp Curry image

In this quick Thai-style shrimp curry, plump shrimp are simmered in a coconut sauce infused with aromatics and green curry paste.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Yield 4 - 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts, from 4-5 scallions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2½ tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon dark or light brown sugar
2 pounds large, extra large (26-30 per lb) or jumbo (21-25 per lb) shrimp, peeled and deveined (see note), thawed if frozen
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons), plus more lime wedges for serving
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, Thai basil, or Italian basil (or a combination)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. If the onions start to brown, reduce the heat to medium. Add the scallions, garlic, and green curry paste, and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes more. Add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with the cilantro (or basil). Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve with jasmine rice.
  • Note: For the shrimp, I recommend buying frozen shrimp labeled "shell split and deveined." Most shrimp are cleaned and flash frozen shortly after being caught, so the "fresh" shrimp you see in the seafood case at the supermarket are typically thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long they've been sitting there, so you're better off buying frozen shrimp and defrosting it yourself. Come dinnertime, all you have to do is run the shrimp under water to defrost, and then peel.

SMASHED POTATOES WITH THAI-STYLE CHILE AND HERB SAUCE



Smashed Potatoes With Thai-Style Chile and Herb Sauce image

This recipe is inspired by suea rong hai, or "crying tiger," a Thai dish of grilled beef served with a fiery sauce of crushed Thai chile, fish sauce, lime juice, toasted rice powder and cilantro. Here, the bright and punchy sauce is the perfect foil to crispy roasted potatoes, but it would be just as welcome spooned over fried brussels sprouts, sautéed shrimp or grilled steak. Finally, while the sauce in this recipe is equal parts acidic and spicy, feel free to add more chile - including the seeds and ribs - to take the heat up a notch.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds small new or Yukon gold potatoes (ideally about 1½-inch wide)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced Fresno or serrano chile, or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 garlic clove, grated
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus whole leaves for serving
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush a sheet pan all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 18 minutes, until the potatoes are just fork tender. Pour into a colander to drain, then return the cooked potatoes to the pot off the heat to help any remaining moisture evaporate.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, chile, soy sauce, sugar and garlic, then stir in the cilantro and scallions.
  • Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, gently smash each potato until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over the potatoes and carefully flip to coat both sides in oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a platter, sprinkle lightly with salt, then spoon the sauce on top. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot.

THAI-STYLE SWEET AND SALTY SHRIMP



Thai-Style Sweet and Salty Shrimp image

Made of equal parts sugar, fish sauce and vinegar, the sauce in the famous pad Thai at Kris Yenbamroong's Night + Market restaurants in Los Angeles is too good to be used exclusively on rice noodles. This adaptation is simmered with a tangle of shrimp, peanuts, scallions, chile and lime juice for for a sweet, salty stir-fry. Add a quick cooking vegetable, like peas, thinly sliced asparagus or bean sprouts, with the shrimp, or substitute tofu, salmon or cubed boneless chicken thighs for the shrimp. Serve over shredded cabbage, rice, a roasted sweet potato or rice noodles.
