10-MINUTE THAI CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add shallot, green onion, chili or red pepper, and cilantro to salad bowl (reserve some extra cilantro for garnish).

EASY PAD THAI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the chicken stock, rice vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and cayenne pepper in a cup or small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Place the chopped chicken in a bowl and toss with the 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rice noodles and cook approximately 6 minutes, or until soft enough to bend easily but still firm and a little crunchy when you try to eat it (undercooked by regular standards). Drain and rinse noodles briefly with cold water to keep them from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and swirl around. Add the garlic, chili, and galangal or ginger. Stir-fry 1 minute.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, continuing to stir-fry until they turn pink and chicken is opaque-about 2 to 3 minutes.
• When pan becomes dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pad thai sauce-just enough to keep ingredients frying nicely.
• Push the ingredients to the side of the pan (if the pan is dry, drizzle in a little oil). Crack the egg into the empty space and stir-fry quickly to scramble.
• Add the drained noodles plus 3 to 4 tablespoons of the pad thai sauce. Using two utensils, lift and turn the noodles with the other ingredients. Continue in this way, adding more sauce every minute or two, until all the sauce has been added and noodles are chewy and a little bit sticky, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Fold in the bean sprouts and green onion. Remove from heat and taste-test, adding more fish sauce or lime until the desired taste is achieved.
• Portion out onto individual plates and add a lime wedge on the side. Top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
