Drunkard's Noodles (Gueyteow Pad Ki Mow)

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Main Dishes Pasta

Thai Vegan

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tb Oil

1 Garlic clove -- finely chopped

2 sm Fresh red or green chilis

-- finely chopped

4 oz Sen yai noodles

1 sm Onion -- cut into segments

1 md Tomato -- cut into segments

4 Kaffir lime leaves

-- roughly chopped

6 Sweet basil leaves

1 t Dark soy sauce

2 tb Light soy sauce

1/2 ts Sugar

1 sm Sweet red or green pepper

-- finely chopped

 

This is a favourite hangover dish - the chilis kick-start the benumbed

body while the lime leaf refreshes and clears the jaded palate.

 

In a wok or frying pan/skillet, heat the oil until a light haze appears.

Add the garlic and chilis and fry until the garlic is golden brown. Add

the noodles, stir, add the remaining ingredients and stir well until the

peppers begin to cook but are still al dente. Turn on to a dish.

Thai Noodles

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Main Dishes Pasta & Pasta Sauces

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Marinade & sauce:

1/4 c. soy sauce

1/4 c. vinegar

3 T. sugar

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1 T. Thai red chile dipping sauce -- or red pepper

flakes to taste

1 T. peanut butter -- (1 to 2)

Other stuff:

1/2 package Thai rice noodles**

1 c. cubed cucumber

1 c. fresh mung bean sprouts -- rinsed very well in

cold water

1/2 lemon -- cut into wedges

1 c. shredded or julienned carrot (if you like -- it works

well

cabbage

instead of the carrot)

coarsely chopped cilantro -- to taste

2 T. roasted peanuts -- chopped up

4 oz. firm regular tofu -- well drained

1 T. peanut oil -- (1 to 2)

 

Mix up the sauce and put it in the bottom of a large bowl. Cube the tofu

into 1/2 " squares. Soak in the sauce for about 1/2 hour.

 

Prepare the noodles per the package instructions (usually par boil for 3

minutes or soak in hot water for 20 minutes). Drain well.

 

After the tofu is done marinating, heat up the oil in a non-stick pan or

wok. You want the oil to be hot enough to sear the tofu on contact. This

will keep it from sticking and soaking up the oil. Toss the tofu until

browned. Take off the heat while you toss the noodles in with the sauce or

get it ready in between tosses. Add the noodles to the pan. Cook until

the excess liquid is gone. The noodles may crisp up a bit, or they may be

soft - it depends how cooked they were and how well drained they were.

They are good either way.

 

Dish up noodles, top with cilantro and peanuts bits. Serve with a lemon

wedge and little piles of veggies all around. Put Thai red chile sauce or

red pepper flakes on the table. This is a meal for two or a starter for four.

 

**I've only ever seen one size package of these noodles both in Chicago and

in D.C. They are usually available at asian markets and come in large

packages. As long as you know you're looking for rice noodles, you'll be

able to find them by eye. I cannot remember what they are called. If you

can't get them, chinese " rice sticks " or the thin bean threads will work

ok, but if they are super skinny noodles, make sure to leave them a bit

firm, or they will be hard to toss with the sauce and cook in the wok. The

chinese noodles are made by Kame, and they are available at major chain

stores like Safeway.

 

If you can get the red chile sauce, it's perfect with this, but I love red

chiles with peanutty things. I think that Taste of Thai makes a version of

it, but if you can go to an Asian market to get the noodles, get the sauce

there since you'll save yourself some money. The version I buy is

vegetarian, but the TofT kind *might* have fish in it. Read the label.

Thai Noodles With Cilantro

 

Recipe By :The No-Tofu Vegetarian Cookbook, page 143

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : No-Tofu Vegetarian Cookbook

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

1 tablespoon dark molasses

4 cups broccoli flowerets -- in bite-size pieces

1/2 red bell pepper -- thinly sliced

1/2 pound thin spaghetti -- broken in half

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 teaspoons minced gingerroot

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced jalapeno chile

1 cup frozen green peas

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

2 eggs -- beaten

1/4 cup chopped peanuts -- for garnish

Cilantro sprigs -- for garnish

 

Makes 4 servings.

 

An exotic dish, but one that is easily created in your own kitchen. It is

high in protein, low in fat and rich in both flavor and nutrition.

 

Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, sugar and molasses in a small bowl and

set aside.

 

Steam the broccoli over boiling water 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and steam

2 to 3 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Run under cold water

until cooled and set aside.

 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti 7 to 8 minutes,

or just until barely tender. Drain and set aside.

 

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a nonstick Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the

gingerroot, garlic and chile and cook, stirring frequently, about 1 minute.

Add broccoli, bell pepper, peas, green onions and cilantro and stir until

heated through. Transfer the broccoli mixture to a large bowl and cover

with foil to keep warm.

 

Pour the beaten eggs into the Dutch oven over medium heat, and as they

begin to cook, add cooked spaghetti and lime juice mixture. Using two

forks, toss the mixture until the liquid is absorbed. Add broccoli mixture

and toss until thoroughly mixed. Serve on a warmed platter or individual

plates. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro sprigs.

 

Education:

 

Raw eggs carry the risk of salmonella, a food poisoning that can be serious

for the very young, the elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system.

In the recipe above, the eggs are completely cooked as the pasta is tossed

in the pan over heat. Be careful with egg dishes that do not result in

hard cooking of both whites and yolks.
