Now, cover the pot/wok with the lid and cook for 5 minutes on high heat. If the bottom of the flat bottom pan you use is thicker, e g. Increase the cooking time for Pyrex to 7 or 8 minutes. While it’s cooking, brush the second pan lightly with oil. Fill your wok with water while the mixture is resting (but first, make sure your flat-bottomed pan fits comfortably inside!). Use a large, deep cooking pot with a wide opening and a lid if you don’t have a wok.
Just use Tamari instead of the soy sauce. Nutrition information is calculated using an ingredient database and should be considered an estimate.

Spicy Thai Coconut Chicken Soup
First it was this sweet and sour goodness, then Thai peanut sauce , and then tamarind paste which....well....isn't technically a sauce. Quickly whisk the sauce if the sugar seems to have settled, and add about 1/4 cup to the pan. Gently toss and flip the noodles in the pan. Transfer the noodles to the hot pan with the shrimp. Keep the noodles long; don’t chop them up in the pan . Taste to make sure they have softened; the noodles don’t need to be completely cooked at this point because they will continue to cook in the wok.
Place noodles in a large bowl, pour over plenty of boiling water. Soak for 5 minutes, then drain in a colander and quickly rinse under cold water. Don't leave them sitting around for more than 5 – 10 minutes.
Here are some additions you can make to your sauce
After years of working in professional kitchens, Lindsay traded her knives in for the pen. The only other tool you need is a wide spatula. You can get an official shovel-shaped wok spatula ($11), or you can use a spatula you already have on hand. Just make sure it’s not flimsy, like an egg spatula, and it can handle the high heat of the wok.
Stir or, if the container is a lidded one, shake the sauce until everything comes together. Once the tamarind paste has been absorbed into the other liquids and the sugar dissolves, your sauce is all done. Pad see ew is a popular Thai takeout dish with saucy noodles and fresh vegetables. You'll need to invest in some novel pantry ingredients, but then you'll be making restaurant-style noodles in no time.
Step 5: Stir-Fry the Pad Thai
It does contain a significant amount of sodium—1669 milligrams, which is almost 70% of the American Heart Association’s recommended daily intake. If you’re looking to reduce sodium in your diet, you can halve the quantity of the fish sauce and soy sauce. When you’re happy with the taste and texture, drain and discard the soaking liquid.

This was delicious absolutely wonderful. I being a vegetarian did omit the fish sauce but it was still fantastic. The optional peanut butter did help. When making vegan pad thai, use ourvegan fish sauce– or use store-bought vegan fish sauce. Use crispy tofu as the protein, and leave out the eggs.

Run the remainder of the pulp through a fine mesh sieve, into a bowl, scraping the underside of the sieve to remove any pulp that may have gotten stuck. You should have about 1/2 cup of pulp—it will be velvety and look like apple butter. You use the entire amount and it results in a slightly thicker sauce. First and foremost, Yodkamlue advises working quickly while using a very hot pan to prepare pad Thai. “Don’t be afraid to crank up the heat,” he advises.
The dish is salty, tangy, and savory. You can adjust the level of spice in your homemade pad Thai by adding more or less chili sauce. When the wok or pan becomes dry, add the chicken stock. Stir-fry 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked. Squeeze over lime juice to taste before eating. I am the recipe creator and photographer behind the 900+ recipes you’ll find on Inquiring Chef.
Add noodles, sauce, bean sprouts and peanuts to the pan . Make a well in the center of the wok, scooting the shallot mixture to the side of the pan,add the whisked eggs. Cooking can be a way of celebrating all our unique and beautiful differences. I’d like to believe expanding our repertoire in the kitchen can also expand our hearts. Serve with fresh bean sprouts, lime wedges and crushed toasted peanuts.

The more you make pad Thai and work with the sauce, the more you’ll be able to tell what your sauce needs, and how you like it to taste. This recipe serves four, and I highly recommend making it in two batches. The first time I made pad Thai following Peter’s recipe, that is what I did to serve myself and my two boys, and that seemed workable. Last week I posted a pic on Instagram of some drunken noodles I made for dinner.

Garlic chives are the big brother of normal chives. They taste like garlicky chives (I know, you're shocked right? 😂) and are shaped like blades of grass. These are also sold at supermarkets here in Australia .Sub with extra garlic and green onions if you can't find them. The Erawan Rice Sticks are far more prone to breaking when stir frying.
