Pad Thai Recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 egg
4 ounces Sen Lek noodles
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
2 tablespoons dried shrimp, ground
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 ounce beansprouts
2 green onions, cut in 1" pieces
lemon wedges to garnish

Preparation

Step 1

In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil, add the garlic and fry until golden brown. Break the egg into the wok, stir quickly and cook for a couple of seconds. Add the noodles and stir well, scraping down the sides of the pan to ensure they mix with the garlic and egg.

One by one, add the lemon juice, fish sauce, sugar, half the peanuts, half the dried shrimp, the chilli powder, 1 tablespoon of the beansprouts and the spring onions, stirring quickly all the time. Test the noodles for tenderness. When done, turn onto a serving plate and arrange the remaining peanuts, dried shrimp and beansprouts around the dish, garnish with lemon wedges
