Pad Thai
4 tablespoons or more vegetable oil
3 ounces firm tofu – diced
1.5 tablespoons minced shallot
6 garlic cloves minced, small cloves
1 cup diced chicken thighs
3 eggs
16 oz dried Thai noodles (try to find ones thicker than a linguini). Read instructions on package for boiling time. Don’t over cook!
2 ounces bean sprouts
Six scallions cut into 1” pieces
Accoutrements
Roasted and crushed peanuts, red pepper flakes, raw sugar, scallions, wedge of lime
Cooking method
In a wok or sauté pan, heat vegetable oil or pork belly oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering add the tofu and fry until crispy. Now add shallot and garlic. Stirfry over medium high heat until fragrant. Do not burn the garlic.
Immediately add the chicken and stir until the chicken is cooked. Push the cooked ingredients to the cold top side of the wok.
Crack the egg into the hot bottom center of the wok. Scramble lightly and when the egg has set, use your spatula to cut the egg into bite-size pieces. Push the cooked egg up to the top side of the wok joining it with the cooked chicken and tofu.
Pour half the pad Thai sauce into the hot bottom center of the walk. The sauce should begin boiling in a few seconds. Do not mix the sauce and the cooked ingredients. Keep them separated.
With the sauce boiling, add the rice noodles into the sauce. Stir until the noodles become translucent and cooked.
