Shrimp Pad Thai

Thai stir fry is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food in Thailand as part of the country's cuisine.[As Thailand's national dish, it is typically made with rice noodles, shrimp, peanuts, scrambled egg, sugar and bean sprouts. The ingredients are fried in a wok.

One of my favorite recipes.  You can replace the shrimp with a different source of protein.  You will need to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go, because this recipe only takes 3-4 minutes to cook.




Shrimp Pad Thai
4 oz. rice noodles
2 tsp olive oil 
8 oz. large shrimp, peed, deveined, patted dry
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 large eggs
1/2 cup bean sprouts 
1/2 cup freshly grated carrots
2 large green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup peanuts, finely chopped
Lime wedges (opt.)

For the Sauce:
2 Tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 Tablespoons rice vinegar, seasoned
1 Tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut amino's, no soy)
2 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon honey

Cook rice noodles, drain, rinse in cold water.
In a bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients.
Heat oil in wok.  Add shrimp, cook 2 minutes (or less!), add garlic and noodles, stir to coat.  Move to side.
Add eggs, stir semi-cooked with noodles.  Stir in sauce.

I doubled this recipe, and I'm cooking it on high in an 8 qt. slowcooker for 3 1/2 hours.  I'll add the pasta the last 15 minutes.  ...
