Pad Thai Without Bean Sprouts Food

VEGETARIAN PAD THAI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a pot of water to boil over high heat. Dunk in rice noodles and stir with a fork to separate.
• Cook 4 to 6 minutes, just until noodles are limp but still too firm to eat (a little firmer than al dente ). Then drain and rinse with cold water.
• Combine the pad thai sauce ingredients in a cup, stirring well to dissolve sugar and tamarind. Note that this sauce should have a very strong-tasting flavor: sour-sweet first, followed by salty and spicy. Add more sugar if too sour. Set aside.
• Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil plus garlic and onion. Stir-fry for 1 minute to release the fragrance.
• Add bok choy plus enough stock or white wine to keep ingredients frying nicely. Stir-fry 2 minutes, or until bok choy is bright green and slightly softened.
• Push the ingredients aside and add 1/2 tablespoon more of the oil to the center of the wok/pan. Add the egg (if using-don't add the alternative soft tofu quite yet) and stir-fry briefly to scramble.
• If the pan is dry, push the ingredients aside and add a little more of the oil to the middle. Add the drained noodles and 1/3 of the pad thai sauce. Stir-fry everything together for 1 to 2 minutes using 2 utensils and a gently tossing motion (like tossing a salad).
• Keep the heat between medium-high and high, reducing if noodles begin to stick or burn. Continue adding sauce and stir-frying for 3 to 6 more minutes, or until all sauce is added and noodles are soft but still chewy and deliciously sticky. If using soft tofu, add it with the last of the sauce; it will break up and be distributed throughout the dish, just as the egg would.
• Switch off the heat and add bean sprouts, green onions, and 3/4 of the nuts. Toss and taste test, adding more soy sauce for more salt/flavor. If too salty or sweet for your taste, add a good squeeze of lime juice. If too sour, add a little more sugar.
• To serve, scoop noodles onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining chopped nuts and fresh cilantro. Add wedges of fresh-cut lime on the side to be squeezed over just before eating.

A PAD THAI WORTH MAKING

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with hot tap water and place the noodles in it to soak for 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons of the chile sauce and chicken stock. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, stir in garlic and cook for about 10 seconds. Add shrimp and chicken; cook, stirring constantly until shrimp is opaque and chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Move everything in the wok out to the sides and pour the eggs in the center. Cook and stir the eggs until firm. Add the noodles to the wok and pour in the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles are tender. Add a bit more water if needed to finish cooking the noodles. Stir in 3 cups of bean sprouts, green onions, and remaining chile sauce. Remove from the heat and garnish with chopped peanuts. Taste for seasoning, adjusting the spice or lime juice if needed.
• Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and remaining bean sprouts with lime wedges on the side.

NO NOODLE PAD THAI

Steps:

• Use a julienne peeler, mandoline or spiralizer (or even a potato peeler) to create noodles from the daikon and carrots. Place in a bowl and add the mung bean sprouts and onions. Add the tofu, coriander and sesame seeds to the noodles and mix. Stir together all the sauce ingredients in a separate bowl, add more water if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Pour over the vegetables and toss to combine using your hands. Make sure that every single strand is covered in dressing. Serve with a slice of lime, chopped coriander and sesame seeds on top.

LOW-CARB PAD THAI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Trim the ends of the zucchini, then use a vegetable peeler to peel into thin, flat noodles. Repeat with the sweet potato and daikon radish. Set aside.
• In a wok or large pan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, 3 cloves of garlic, and the water. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the pad thai sauce to a bowl until ready to use. Wipe out the pan.
• Heat a drizzle of coconut oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Add a bit more coconut oil to the pan, if needed, then add the shallot, chili paste, and remaining 3 cloves of garlic. Cook until the shallots are softened and the aromatics are fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Add the peanuts and bean sprouts, and cook for 1 minute, until the sprouts are softened. Add half of the reserved pad thai sauce and cook until thickened, 3 minutes.
• Add the vegetable noodles and chicken, and stir to coat with the sauce, adding more as needed. Add the cilantro, toss, and cook for 30-60 seconds, until the noodles are just warmed through but not soggy.
• Serve immediately garnished with more cilantro, bean sprouts, peanuts, and lime wedges.
• Enjoy!

SOY-FREE CHICKEN PAD THAI

Steps:

• Whisk chicken stock, peanut butter, coconut aminos, brown sugar, lime juice, rice wine, chile sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a bowl. Set sauce aside.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in rice noodles and return to a boil. Cook noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink inside and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cooked noodles and pour sauce over noodles. Reduce heat to medium-low to prevent overcooking noodles.
• Cook and stir until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir in bean sprouts and green onions and remove from heat. Garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and sriracha sauce.
