Pad Thai Pig Ears Food

PAD THAI PIG EARS

Steps:

• For the Pad Thai Chili Sauce:.
• Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, for 10 minutes, blend mixture with burre-mixer. Strain though large perforated pan to catch any tamarind. Cool and store.
• For the pig ears:.
• Flash fry the pig ears after dredging in 'Oyster' flour. Once crispy remove and season. (Be careful, without the crust on the pig ears they tend to pop a little in the fryer, try to avoid looking directly at them.).
• Meanwhile, heat a small saute pan, brush with oil, add 2 T. whipped egg, scramble and add scallions, peanuts, 2oz Pad Thai sauce and the pig ears.
• Coat ears with mixture and plate immediately. Garnish with bean sprouts, then cilantro and mint sprigs, place a lime wedge beside the "Pig Ear Pad Thai".

10-MINUTE PAD THAI

Steps:

• Dry-fry the prawns and coriander stalks in a non-stick frying pan for 1-2 mins until the prawns are just pink. Add the noodles, beansprouts, egg, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Quickly toss together for 1 min more until the egg is just cooked and everything is well mixed - you might want to use a pair of tongs to make this easier.
• Remove from the heat, mix in most of the coriander leaves, then divide between 2 bowls. Scatter with the remaining coriander and the peanuts, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

PAD THAI

Steps:

• Tip the noodles into a large bowl and pour over a kettle of boiling water until they are covered. Leave to stand for 5-10 mins until the noodles are soft, then drain well. (You can do this part ahead of time - then just run the noodles under cold water until cool, and toss through a little oil to stop them from sticking.) Next, mix together the tamarind paste, fish sauce and sugar in a small bowl.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic. Trim the ends off the spring onions and cut into thin slices about 1cm long. Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. When it's really hot (a drop of water should sizzle straight away), pour in the oil and swirl around. Tip in garlic and spring onions. To stir-fry, take a spatula or tongs and toss the veg around the wok so they're moving all the time. Cook for 30 secs, just until they begin to soften.
• Push the vegetables to the sides of the wok, then crack the egg into the centre. Keep stirring the egg for 30 secs until it begins to set and resembles a broken-up omelette.
• Add the prawns and beansprouts, followed by the noodles, then pour over the fish sauce mixture. Toss everything together and heat through. Spoon out onto plates. Serve with some chopped peanuts sprinkled over and wedges of lime.
