Dinner at Home


Pad Thai
Not entirely traditional, but tasty nonetheless.

-1 package bean sprouts
-4 packages fettucini style shirataki noodles
-5 scallions, chopped
-4 eggs
-1 block firm tofu, cubed
-1 lb shrimp
-1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
-1 large handful basil, chopped
-3 tb rice vinegar
-2 tb rice wine
-3 tb soy sauce
-2 tb oyster sauce
-2 tb hoisin sauce
-2 tb chili garlic sauce
-10 cloves garlic, minced
-1 lime, cut in wedges

Mix the vinegar, rice wine, hoisin, and chili garlic sauce and marinate the tofu cubes in the mixture. Drain the marinade and reserve for later. Fry up the tofu until crisp and set aside.
Boil the noodles for 2 minutes, drain and set aside. Beat the eggs and make a very thin omelette. Cut into strips and set aside. Sautee the shrimp in the oyster sauce until almost done and set aside. Sautee the garlic in a large pan. Add the leftover marinade and the noodles to the pan and sautee until noodles are full coated. Add the tofu, the omelette strips, the shrimp, the bean sprouts and the peanuts and stir. Garnish with lime and basil.
