Delicious homemade Pad Thai, a beloved Thai classic, ready in under an hour for a restaurant-quality meal.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 package (6 to 8 oz) linguine-style stir-fry rice noodles (rice stick noodles)*
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped, or 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 12 oz frozen cooked peeled deveined medium shrimp, thawed
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dry-roasted peanuts
  • 3 cups fresh bean sprouts
  • 4 medium green onions, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed cilantro leaves
Instructions:
  • Heat 4 cups of water in a 3-quart saucepan until boiling. Take off heat and add noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged in water. Let noodles soak for 3 to 5 minutes until tender yet slightly firm. Drain and rinse noodles under cold water.
  • In a small bowl, mix together lime juice, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper, and 1 tablespoon of oil until well combined; set aside.
  • In a nonstick wok or 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and shallot for about 30 seconds until they start to brown. Add the eggs and cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring gently until scrambled but still moist.
  • Combine the noodles and lime juice mixture, then turn the heat to high. Cook for about 1 minute, continuously tossing with 2 wooden spoons until the sauce thickens. Add all the remaining ingredients except cilantro. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing with 2 wooden spoons until noodles are tender. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with cilantro, and garnish with extra chopped dry-roasted peanuts and green onions, if desired.
