Phad thai is everyone's favorite dish to order in Thai restaurants,and something I have not come by at all in Hungary. I was surprised how easy it was to make a dish that replicated the flavor of pad thai pretty exactly. And now I will share this wisdom with you...
1 package dry rice noodles
4 green onions (slivered)
1 package bean sprouts
1/2 cup peanuts (finely chopped)
Lime wedges
Coriander
2 Tablespoons sugar*
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 eggs
Oil
Soak noodles until soft, then drain. Mix sugar, vinegar, paprika, and fish sauce, set sauce mixture aside. Briefly saute garlic in oil. If you want to add meat, tofu, or seafood to your phad thai, this would be the time to cook it. Add noodles to wok and pour sauce over everything. Stir fry briefly. Next, tuck the eggs under the noodles and stir fry everything. Add oil as needed. Add green onions, sprouts, and coriander. Remove from heat. Garnish with crushed peanuts and lime wedges.
*Try tamarind paste instead of sugar for a more AUTHENTIC phad thai.
