PAD THAI - LOWER FAT VERSION

Pad Thai - Lower Fat Version image

I got this from Chatelaine, a Canadian magazine. This is a lower fat version, but not low on taste! This is really yummy and the fat content is cut by omitting oil, adding lots of vegetables and cutting out fat laden peanuts.

2 tablespoons fish or 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon hot red chili pepper flakes (optional)
6 garlic cloves (I use minced garlic)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 red peppers (cored and seeded, sliced in thin strips) or 2 orange peppers (cored and seeded, sliced in thin strips)
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander
1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint leaf (optional)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in strips
1/2 lb peeled and deveined uncooked shrimp, fresh
2 cups bean sprouts
1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

Place noodles in a large bowl.
Cover completely with boiling water, soak, stirring occasionally, until noodles are just tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain well and set aside.
Whisk egg in a small bowl, then stir in sugar, fish or oyster sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, chili-garlic sauce and chili flakes.
Set aside.
Boil broth over high heat, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
Pour reduced chicken broth into a large, non-stick skillet, add garlic, chicken and shrimp.
Stir frequently until shrimp start to turn pink and chicken starts to turn white.
Stir in egg mixture, then add drained noodles.
Stir to evenly coat.
If noodles begin to stick, reduce heat to medium.
Add green onions, peppers, coriander, mint and bean sprouts.
Continue stirring until noodles are heated through, from 1 to 2 minutes.
Add chopped peanuts if you want, but they will increase fat content for this lowfat recipe.
Spoon into bowls and serve with lime.
Note: You can substitute frozen pre-cooked shrimp for the fresh.

Tips:

Use a wide variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your Pad Thai.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces. There are many different Pad Thai sauces available, so find one that you like or make your own.
Make sure to soak your rice noodles before cooking them. This will help them to soften and cook evenly.
Cook your Pad Thai over high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the noodles and vegetables.
Serve your Pad Thai immediately. This is when it is at its best.
Pad Thai is a great dish to make ahead of time. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
