Pad Thai Noodles Street-style

A Thai noodle dish that is quick and easy to prepare and traditionally enjoyed 'on the hoof'!!

Preparation:

  1. Heat a wok over a high heat. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium, add the garlic, ginger, and the prawns and stir fry until half cooked. Break in the egg and gently cook until the egg is scrambled.
  2. Immediately stir in the noodles, season with fish sauce and vinegar and continue to stir fry, constantly turning the ingredients but taking care not to break the noodles. If the noodles look too dry, then add a tablespoon of water to soften them.
  3. Stir in the garlic chives (or spring onions), carrot, bean sprouts, half the peanuts and sugar, stirring until all the ingredients are blended. Garnish with the remaining peanuts, pounded dried shrimp, a squeeze of lime and serve.

Useful tip:

Always soak your rice noodles before stir-frying or adding to a salad... more


Replace garlic chives with sliced spring onions if unavailable, and omit the dried shrimp if you like!
