Calling Sally to the Pad Thai phone

[Dace]

You mentioned somewhere making Pad Thai...and for some crazy reason it has been on my mind, so I thought I might give it a try.

Care to share your recipe?

*nerdy phone answering voice* "Um, HELLO?"

OMG Dace it is so easy!

Let me dig up my peanut sauce recipe and I'll edit back here with it.

Pad Thai rice noodles
4-5 scallions chopped
4 (or more) eggs
minced garlic
cilantro
crushed peanuts
lime slices
bean sprouts
peanut sauce (recipe in a sec. keeps forever in fridge btw)
shrimp or thin sliced chicken breast


Soak rice noodles in warm water

Meanwhile stir fry eggs and garlic in oil of your choice (add garlic when eggs are almost through cooking so it doesn't burn)

Add 1/2 of your scallions and shrimp or chicken breast cook till done.

Add drained noodles and peanut sauce and heat through stirring the sauce in

Serve topped with a pile of cilantro and a pile of sprouts, squirt lime juice over the whole dish and sprinkle crushed peanuts and fresh scallions.

PEANUT SAUCE:
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce (can't even taste it)
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (find in the Asian food section)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
3 cloves garlic crushed
minced 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (don't add if you are going to store the sauce, add it right before serving, I don't think it holds up in the fridge very well)

Mix it up! Thats it. Easy peasy! I got the recipe from the internet about a year ago.

You're welcome!

Lots of pad thai recipes call for fewer eggs, but I love more eggs in mine. Plus we SS'ers always have a bunch of eggs around to use up, don't we?
