Pad Thai
Ingredients
- 8 ounces pkg dried rice noodles soaked in warm water for 15-20 minutes
- shrimp, chicken or pork
- 1 small white onion thinly cut
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 cloves finely chopped garlic
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 4 sliced thin green onions
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 2 eggs scrambled
- 16 ounces bean sprouts
- 1/2 tsp chili oil or 1 small thai chili
- 3/4 cup ground roasted peanuts
- Lime wedges
Instructions
Soak noodles 15-20 minutes in warm water. In a jar combine sugar, vinegar, chili oil or the Thai chili and fish sauce. Set aside. Heat wok, stir fry meat, onions, garlic, and noodles. In another frying pan scramble eggs and combine with the noodle mixture mix to combine. On a serving plate place the bean sprouts, then the noodle mixture. Garnish with green onions, peanuts and lime wedges. Thai like Chinese combine meat and seafood. I have made and I have eaten pork, chicken and shrimp together in this dish. I have also had pork, chicken lobster and crab in this dish. The bean sprouts are not cooked at all, but the bottom layer of this dish.

My daughter asked me to find a good pad thai recipe, so I'm going to start with this one. It calls for ground peanuts, so I'm wondering if I can do that in my food processor or if I can put the in a bag and smash them with a rolling pin. I'm not sure how finely they need to be chopped. Has anyone ground their own peanuts for pad thai?
