Peas Please Pad Thai

Peas Please Pad Thai

I know, you guys think this was a lot of steps. It’s not. All you are going to do is: cook some noodles, scramble and egg, toss in some veggies, and pour the dressing on top. You can make it vegetarian, or add chicken and tofu. We had chicken in some of the classes which we cooked separately, it was in a marinade (below), first browned stove top, then finished in the oven.
Ingredients
  • Simple marinade number 2 of today:
  • 50/50 blend soy+agave+ginger+garlic = quick easy marinade.
  • Brown Rice pad thai noodles, cook until soft, rinsed in cold water, set aside
  • Vegetables of your choice, cut into pieces such as:
  • sugar snaps, asparagus, green beans, sprouts, bell peppers, etc
  • chopped peanuts
  • eggs
  • sesame seed oil
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons agave
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • grated garlic and ginger,
  • yeah, yeah, how much?
Instructions
  1. i always stop with the ginger when i feel tired from grating, which is probably about 3 seconds, and i am going to call that 1 generous tablespoon. And 2 cloves garlic.
  2. Ok, we got the ingredients, so we are going to
  3. Saute the veggies in a little oil, just for a few seconds, because we like a crunch. We will pour a small amount of the dressing on the veggies
  4. Saute the cooked noodles in a little oil, then we will push them to the side, add a little sesame oil, and we will scramble the egg.
  5. Toss in some of the cooked vegetables, and the noodles, and the eggs, together, then pour in the rest of the dressing.
  6. Transfer to a platter, and garnish with the cooked, but still crunchy veggies. You could also garnish with raw carrots, and cucumbers. Add shredded cooked chicken, shrimp, beef or cubed tofu if desired. Garnish with peanuts.
