Pad Thai

As you might already know, ‘Pad Thai’ is a stir-fried rice noodle dish, which is very popular in Australia. Ready-made Pad Thai Sauces are available from supermarkets. They are all very sweet!!! I would never buy them again because the sauce is easy to make.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.

* Step 2

Prepare the proteins and vegetables. They will be cooked with the noodles, so I recommend to thinly slice the meat, tofu, onions. Lightly whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.

* Step 3

Now you can start to prepare the noodles. Place noodles in a large bowl, pour over plenty of boiling water and soak for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water, and drain again. *Note: Do not make them absolutely soft at this stage.

* Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon Oil to the heated wok or a very large frying pan, cook Eggs like scrambled egg and transfer to a plate. Add a little more Oil, cook Chicken or Pork (or other meat), if you use any, and Onion (Shallots), Garlic, Ginger and Chilli, then add Prawns or Squid (or other seafood), if you use any, and stir-fry until almost cooked through.
