CHICKEN PAD THAI WONTONS

Steps:

• To make the filling, chop the rehydrated rice noodles into 1/2 inch pieces. Combine the chopped noodles in a bowl with the ground chicken, bean sprouts, scallion, minced cilantro, peanuts, garlic, ginger, scrambled egg and chile. Mix well until combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, tamarind and fish sauce until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Add this sauce to the filling mixture and combine until well incorporated.
• Form the wontons using the beggar's purse fold. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton skin. Fold the skin diagonally, eliminating any air in the middle around the filling. Gather and crimp the wonton skin from corner to conner, pressing to seat the wonton. Place on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the filling and skins are used. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients using a whisk, food processor or blender. Process until smooth and homogenous. Refrigerate until needed.
• Preheat a few inches of oil to 350 degrees. Carefully drop the wontons one by one into the hot oil. Frying in small batches and being sure not to overcrowd the oil. Cook the wontons for 2 minutes, until the filling is cooked and the exterior is golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining wontons until all are cooked, making sure the oil temperature returns to 350 degrees before frying the next batch. Serve immediately with the spicy peanut dipping sauce, topped with chopped cilantro.
• Tip: You can keep the wontons crisp and warm by spreading them on a baking sheet in a single layer and keeping them in a warm oven until ready to serve.

CHICKEN PAD THAI

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in warm water for about 20 mins or until al dente, then drain. Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing together the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, lime and siracha until smooth.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan or a wok over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip in the chicken and cook for 5 mins until golden. Add the coriander stalks, spring onions and turnip (if using), and fry for 1 min. Add in the soaked noodles, 50ml of the chicken stock and the prepared sauce. Keep stir-frying the noodles until they're starting to dry, then add the sauce. Stir everything together and cook over a high heat for 3 mins until the noodles are just cooked. Add a splash more water if needed.
• When the sauce has reduced, scatter over the beansprouts and fold them into the noodles. Push everything to one side of the pan, then pour in the rest of the oil on the empty side and crack in the eggs. Fry for 2 mins until the white is just set and beginning to crisp around the edges, then roughly scramble the runny yolks in with the whites. When the eggs have just set, combine with the noodles.
• Scatter over half of the peanuts and quickly toss together. Divide between two plates with the remaining peanuts and spring onion, the lime wedges and soy sauce on the side.
