here is the shit
ingredients
- 8 oz pad thai noodles
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 serrano chile
- 1/4 cup canola oil (lose the gun)
- 3 large shallots thinly sliced
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 12 oz medium to large shrimp
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 4 scallions (thinly sliced)
- Chopped cilantro for serving
- 2 tbsp asian fish sauce
Process: (not the 76’ers)
- Put the noodles in a large bowl and cover with very hot water. Let soak until just pliable, about 5 minutes. Transfer the noodles to a colander and drain, shaking and tossing the noodles once or twice.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice and chile. Set aside
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2’ish tablespoons of the oil until shimmering. Add the shallots and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.Add the garlic, cook for 1 min so as not to burn
- Add the pad thai noodles and stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until a touch under-cooked
- Pile the noodles and shrimp to one side of the pan (away from you) and add a tablespoon of oil to the empty side of the skillet to cook the eggs in. Add the eggs and cook to 50-75% done. At this point you are cooking the eggs in a small corner of the skillet at a major slant so as not to get the oil into the other stuff
- Add the scallions and toss everything together, keeping the eggs relatively intact.
- Add the fish sauce mixture and lightly stir-fry until the noodles are evenly coated, 1-2 minutes.
- Top w cilantro and a splash of lime
