Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 25

200 grams Pork Scotch Fillet (also known as pork neck, pork shoulder, or collar butt steaks) - thinly sliced
1 TSP Corn Starch
1 TSP Light Soy Sauce
1 TSP + 1 TBLS Canola or Vegetable oil, divided
1.5 TBLS Fish Sauce
1.5 TBLS Light Soy Sauce
½ TBLS Sweet Dark Soy Sauce
2 TBLS Tamarind Paste (also known as tamarind concentrate or puree)
1 TBLS freshly squeezed Lime Juice
½ disc (25 grams) Coconut Sugar - shaved with a knife (substitute with 1 TBLS light brown sugar or more to taste if unavailable)
1 TSP Crushed Red Pepper Chili Flakes, to taste
150 grams / 5.3 ounces Thin Dried Flat Rice Noodles (sen lek, about 2-3mm wide) - soaked in water for 20-30 minutes or until softened
2 TBLS Canola or Vegetable Oil
3 Asian Red Shallots - finely chopped (substitute with 1/4 of medium red onion if unavailable)
5 Garlic cloves - minced
4-12 Red Chilies (Bird's Eye preferred, but Holland or other small red chilies will work too), to taste - chopped
1 TBLS Preserved/Pickled Radish (omit if unavailable)
1 (50-60 grams) square pressed firm Yellow Tofu - diced
1 Egg
1 TBLS Water
3 Chinese Chives (also known as garlic chives) - chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 Spring Onion (Scallion/Green Onion) - chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup Mung Bean Sprouts - rinsed and drained
1 TBLS chopped (unsalted or lightly salted) oil roasted Peanuts
To Serve (optional): More bean sprouts, chopped spring onion, chopped Chinese chives, chopped oil roasted peanuts, lime wedges for squeezing, and crushed red pepper chili flakes.

Steps:

  • Clean and trim off excess fat from the pork, then thinly slice and add to medium sized bowl. Add the corn starch, light soy sauce, and 1 TSP canola oil to the bowl, then mix with a spoon until the pork is evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Soak the rice noodles in a bowl filled with room temperature water for 20-30 minutes, or until they have softened and are pliable. Drain and set aside. Chop/prepare the shallots, garlic, red chilies, Chinese chives, spring onion, and yellow tofu as indicated in the 'Ingredients' section. Rinse and drain the mung bean sprouts, set aside.
  • Combine the fish sauce, light soy sauce, sweet dark soy sauce, tamarind paste, lime juice, coconut sugar, and crushed red pepper chili flakes in a measuring cup (for easier pouring) or small bowl. Mix with a spoon or small whisk until thoroughly combined, then set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil (or vegetable oil if using) over high heat in a large wok or large deep sauté pan. Once hot, add the pork and spread out the pieces in an even layer in the wok. Cook for 1 minute, undisturbed, then turn over the pieces to sear the other side for another minute. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until the pork has almost fully cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Heat 1.5 tablespoons canola oil in the wok over high heat. Once hot, add the shallots, garlic, and red chilies. Stir-fry for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the pickled radish and tofu and toss to combine.
  • Push everything to the side of the wok and add the remaining half tablespoon of oil. Add the egg and scramble. Then stir-fry to combine with everything else.
  • Add the rice noodles, 1 tablespoon of water, and pour the Pad Thai Sauce on top of the noodles. Toss through to combine with the aromatics. (Note: It may look a bit too liquidy at first, but the noodles will quickly start to cook in the liquid and absorb the sauce.)
  • Add the pork and toss to combine. Then add the mung bean sprouts, Chinese chives, and spring onion. Stir-fry for 40 seconds to 1 minute, then switch off the heat. (Note: The residual heat from pan will help wilt and soften the veggies once taken off the heat.)
  • Divide the Spicy Pork Pad Thai evenly into plates and garnish with chopped peanuts. Serve with more bean sprouts, spring onion, Chinese chives, chopped peanuts, lime wedges for squeezing, and crushed red pepper chili flakes if desired.
