Dinner at Home
Pad Thai
This was much better than the last time I made it, but I'm not totally sure why.
-5 packages yam flour noodles, boiled for 2 minutes
-1 lb shrimp, peeled
-1 package tofu, pressed and diced
-1 bag bean sprouts
-3 cups broccoli, chopped
-2 cans baby corn, drained and cut into thirds
-3 eggs
-5 scallions, roughly chopped
-1 head garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
-1 can chicken broth
-3-5 tb chili garlic sauce
-4 tb soy sauce
-3 tb fish sauce
-2 tb oyster sauce
-3 tb rice vinager
-olive oil
-4 packets Splenda
Fry pressed tofu in a bit of soy sauce until crisp on all sides--set aside. Beat eggs lightly and fry over low heat in a shallow pan so as to form a very thin omelette. Cut into thin strips and set aside. Cook shrimp in 1 tb of oyster sauce until 3/4 of the way cooked and set aside. In a wide, deep pan sautee the scallions and garlic on medium until beginning to brown. Add 1/2 the chili garlic sauce. Add the broth and the noodles and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn up the heat and add the baby corn and the brocolli. Add all of the other ingredients except the egg, the shrimp and the sprouts. Simmer until broth is almost evaporated and broccoli is tender. Add the shrimp and egg and stir for 1 minute. Add the sprouts and toss thoroughly. Serve immediately.
Serves 5.
