I have said for a long time that I wanted to try to cook Thai so today was the day. I tried my hand at Pad Thai. It turned out very flavorful and delicious! Will be a repeat in our kitchen.
1 box rice noodles
Pad thai sauce
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup bean sprouts
10 to 15 medium tiger shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves garlic minced
2 shallots, thin sliced
Green onions for garnish
Cilantro for garnish
Roasted peanuts, chopped
Lime for garnish
Add the entire box of rice noodles to a bowl of hot water and soak for 8 or 9 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water (noodles will be soft). Set aside.
Add shallots and shrimp to heated wok (heat 2 tbsp oil in wok before adding shallots and shrimp). Cook shrimp until opaque adding garlic right before shrimp is done. Add the garlic to soon and it may burn. Set shrimp aside.
Add the remaining 2 tbsp. oil to the wok. Add 2 eggs and scramble. Turn heat to low. Add the rice noodles and pad thai sauce (add until all the noodles get coated). Toss to coat. Continue to toss until noodles are cooked through (taste to see).
Add the shrimp and 1 cup bean sprouts. Toss to coat.
Garnish with chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and lime slices.
I had some extra shrimp which I skewered and grilled (then served on top of the noodles).
