Pad thai is perhaps the best-known Thai dish to Americans. Slightly under-cooking the noodles will preserve their texture when reheating them the next day. Cook this dish the night before, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate; reheat single servings in the microwave the next day. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided |
1 pound extrafirm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
2 cups finely shredded napa (chinese) cabbage |
1/4 cup thai fish sauce (such as three crabs) |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
6 tablespoons rice vinegar |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter |
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (such as lee kum kee) |
1/4 cup water |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 pound medium shrimp, cooked and peeled |
2 cups thinly sliced green onions |
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 pound uncooked wide rice noodles (bánh pho) |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu; sauté 4 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides. Spoon tofu into a large bowl. Add cabbage to pan; sauté 30 seconds or until just beginning to wilt. Add cabbage to tofu. Remove pan from heat.
2. Combine fish sauce and next 6 ingredients (through chili garlic sauce). Combine water and cornstarch, stirring with a whisk; stir into vinegar mixture.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; sauté 1 minute. Add vinegar mixture; bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add shrimp mixture, green onions, and cilantro to cabbage mixture; toss to combine.
4. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain well. Add noodles to cabbage mixture; toss well to combine.
