PAD THAI

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in a shallow dish covered in water until pliable, about 10 minutes. Mix the fish sauce and sugar in a small bowl and reserve.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet or wok and add the tofu. Fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides. Remove to paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• In the same pan, add the shallots and saute until translucent, about a minute. Crack in the egg and break up while stirring together. Mix in the reserved fried tofu, fish sauce and sugar mixture and noodles. If the noodles are not coated enough in the sauce, stir in a couple more tablespoons of fish sauce. Add in the green onions and saute for another 30 seconds. Add the bean sprouts and remove from the heat. Top with crushed peanuts, radishes, limes and chili powder.

Steps:

• Soak rice noodles in room temperature water 30 minutes prior to cooking.

MARTY'S GINGER PAD THAI

Steps:

• Place noodles in a large pot and cover with lukewarm water. Let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet still firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Combine chicken stock, 1 cup water, and lemongrass in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; simmer until broth is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Strain out lemongrass and discard.
• Crush peanuts using a mortar and pestle. Toast in a wok or large skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Toast coconut, stirring often, in the wok until golden brown and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place chicken in a large bowl. Coat with oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken mixture and ginger; cook and stir until chicken is browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the wok.
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon peanut oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add onion, jalapeno peppers, garlic, and habanero pepper; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add carrot, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, and radishes; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in mushroom, red curry paste, and curry powder until well-combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour broth and white wine into the wok. Cook until reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 of the toasted peanuts and all the coconut; simmer for 2 minutes. Add chicken; continue simmering until chicken is no longer pink in the center until sauce has reduced to about 1 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
• Pour chicken and sauce over noodles in the pot; add remaining peanuts. Stir over low heat until well-combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in lime juice and garnish with cilantro.
