Bangkok Style Chicken Pad Thai Recipes

Steps:

• Place noodles in a large bowl. Add enough hot tap water to cover; let stand for 10 to 15 minutes or until pliable but not soft. Drain well in a colander.
• Meanwhile, for peanut topping, combine peanuts and lime peel; set aside.
• In a small bowl combine fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and chile sauce; stir until smooth. Set aside.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and garlic; cook and stir for 6 minutes until chicken is tender and no pink remains. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add egg to the hot skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Turn egg with spatula and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more, just until set. Remove and chop egg; set aside.
• In same skillet heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over high heat for 30 seconds. Add drained noodles and sprouts; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add fish sauce mixture and chicken; cook 1 to 2 minutes more until heated through.
• Divide noodle mixture among four plates. Sprinkle each serving with egg and peanut topping. Garnish with green onion and cilantro.

Steps:

• Prepare all the ingredients beforehand as once the stir fry starts it's all very quick. First you want to cook the noodles to packet instructions (I boiling water for 5 minutes) then briefly rinse in cold water and set aside.
• Heat a pan with a tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook the chicken until just cooked, then set aside. If you are using frozen prawns, defrost in a little warm water, then also set aside.
• Heat the groundnut oil to a very high heat, then add the chilli, garlic and the red onion and cook for 1 - 2 minutes until slightly softening. Add the radish to the pan for 30 seconds, then add in the cooked chicken and defrosted prawns for a couple of minutes. (If using uncooked prawns add these prior to the chicken and ensure they are fully cooked first).
• Once the chicken and prawns are cooked, add the lime juice and the fish sauce and cook for a few minutes more. Add the noodles to the pan and give everything a good mix, turning the heat down slightly. Add in the tomato ketchup and mix again.
• Pour in the egg over the noodles and leave to set for 1 minute. Once the egg starts to set, start to stir the noodles again and the egg should break up into thin strands. Keep stirring until the egg is cooked then serve with the following garnishes.

Steps:

• Whisk chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl until well blended.
• Heat large skillet over high heat. Drizzle in oil. Add chicken and stir fry until it loses its raw color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic, and sliced chilies. Continue cooking on high heat until some of the juices start to caramelize in the bottom of the pan, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Add about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until sauce begins to caramelize, about 1 minute.
• Pour in the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has deglazed the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until sauce glazes onto the meat, 1 or 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in basil. Cook and stir until basil is wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Mix the chicken with half the sesame oil, flour, half the soy sauce and half the ginger paste and leave to marinade as long as possible (overnight if you can).
• Combine the remainder of the soy sauce, stock cube, sherry, vinegar, tomato puree, dried chilli, water and lemon juice in a jug.
• Fry the chicken until brown then set aside.
• Stir fry the onion, mange tout, baby sweetcorn and red and yellow peppers with the rest of the sesame oil and ginger paste for 2-3 minute.
• Add half the carrot, the bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and stir fry for a further 2 minute.
• Add the chinese leaves and half the beansprouts.
• Add the sauce mix from the jug and the thai sweet chilli sauce and mix well.
• While you are stir-frying, boil the noodles in a pan of water (usually about 5 min).
• Drain the noodles and add to your stir fry and mix well.
• Serve in bowls and garnish with the remainder raw carrot and beansprouts and the coriander and peanuts.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden brown. Add the meat and shrimp and keep stirring until the shrimp changes color. Remove the shrimp to prevent overcooking and set aside.
• Add the noodles. They will stick together so stir fast and try to separate them. Add a little water, stirring a few times. Then add the Pad Thai sauce, and keep stirring until everything is thoroughly mixed. The noodles should appear soft and moist. Return the cooked shrimp to the wok.
• Push the contents of the wok up around the sides to make room to fry the eggs. If the pan is very dry, add 1 more tablespoon of oil. Add the eggs and spread the noodles over the eggs to cover. When the eggs are cooked, stir the noodles until everything is well mixed-this should result in cooked bits of eggs, both whites and yolk, throughout the noodle mixture.
• Add chiles, peanuts, garlic chives and bean sprouts. Mix well. Remove to a platter. Serve with raw bean spouts and a few drops of lime juice.
• For the sauce.
• 1 cup tamarind juice
• 1 cup palm sugar plus 3 tablespoons
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Mix all ingredients in a saucepan for about 60 minutes until it is well mixed and syrupy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
