PAD THAI WITH PRAWNS

Steps:

• Half fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the noodles in 3-4 batches and stir well after each addition. Return to the boil and cook for 3-4 minutes or until just tender. You may need to use a fork to stir the noodles as they cook.
• Drain the noodles in a colander and toss with the 1 teaspoon of oil to stop the strands sticking together, then put to one side. Mix the fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in a small bowl.
• Pour the remaining tablespoon of oil into a large wok or non-stick frying pan and stir-fry the red onion over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Push all the vegetables to one side of the pan.
• Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and allow to cook into a thin omelette on the bottom. This should take 30-40 seconds. Just before the egg is completely set, use a wooden spoon to roughly chop it.
• Immediately add the prawns, cooked noodles, peanuts, spring onions and fish sauce mixture. Increase the heat to its highest setting and stir-fry together for 2 minutes. Toss all the ingredients with tongs or 2 wooden spoons as you stir-fry to make sure everything is thoroughly hot and well mixed.
• Add the beansprouts and coriander and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes more or until the noodles and eggs are lightly browned in places. Divide between warm plates or bowls using tongs. Serve with extra fish sauce and soy sauce.

PAD THAI WITH PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat a wok with half the oil. Add the prawns and spring onions, and cook, stirring quickly, for 1 min or until the prawns turn pink. Push to the side and add the remaining oil. Add the egg and let sit for 30 secs, then scramble until cooked. Add the noodles and sauce, and cook, stirring continuously, for 3 mins or until everything is hot.
• Serve the noodles with the peanuts and coriander sprinkled on top, and lime wedges for squeezing over.

SHRIMP PAD THAI

Steps:

When the noodles are soft, drain and return to the bowl. Put the bowls and other ingredients next to the stove (this dish cooks quickly).
• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the vegetable oil, then add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl using a slotted spoon; leave the oil in the pan. Add the garlic and tofu to the pan; stir-fry until just golden. Add the noodles and 1/4 cup fish-sauce mixture; stir-fry until the noodles absorb the sauce, about 3 minutes. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the noodles seem dry, but don't let them become mushy.
• Add the radishes, scallions and 1/4 cup peanuts; toss to combine. Stir in the remaining fish-sauce mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning (you can add more water, lime juice or fish sauce).
• Return the shrimp to the pan and heat through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a platter; top with bean sprouts, jalapenos and the remaining 1/4 cup peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.
