MY PAD THAI

Categories : Thai

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 1/2 tb Distilled white vinegar
2 tb Water
2 1/2 tb Fish sauce
3 tb Tomato paste
2 1/2 tb Sugar
1/2 tb Dried shrimp
— pounded to a powder
9 oz Flat rice sticks, 1/8″ wide
Vegetable oil
1/3 c Fresh sweet basil leaves
– (Thai or purple basil)
2 Red Serrano chili peppers
-seeded very finely minced
4 Garlic cloves — minced
1 1/2 lg Boned chicken breast halves
– cut crosswise into
– 3/8 inch thick strips -OR-
1 lb -Lean pork, cut into thin
-slices 3/8 inch by 2 inches
8 oz Small, cooked shelled shrimp
2 Eggs — lightly beaten
2 c Fresh bean sprouts
– beans removed
1/4 c Roasted, unsalted peanuts
– coarsely ground
Cherry tomatoes — halved
Lime wedges
Mint sprigs
-OR- sliced green onions

Combine the vinegar, water, fish sauce, tomato paste, sugar, and dried
shrimp in a small bowl; mix until well blended and reserve. In a large
pot, soak the noodles in enough water to cover. In a small skillet or pot,
heat vegetable oil 3/4 to 1 inch deep to 350 degrees, or until a dried rice
noodle puffs instantly when dropped into the oil. Deep-fry the basil
leaves a few at a time, turning them once or twice until they are crisp, or
40 seconds to a minute; drain on paper toweling.

Bring the noodles to a boil and cook them 2 minutes, or until they are
almost tender. Drain and rinse them well, then spread them on paper
toweling to dry slightly. Head a wok or large skillet and add about 2 1/2
tablespoons vegetable oil. Fry the Serrano peppers about 30 seconds, then
add the garlic and stir-fry until it is soft. Add the chicken or pork and
stir-fry until the chicken is almost opaque throughout or the pork is
browned. Stir in the shrimp and the sauce and mix completely. Make a well
in the center of the mixture and pour in the eggs. When they are almost
set, scramble them evenly. Add half the noodles, throughly incorporating
them into the mixture; stir in the remaining noodles and half the bean
sprouts. Cook just until the bean sprouts are nearly wilted.

Heap the meat and noodles onto a platter. Cover one half of them with
ground peanuts and the other half with uncooked bean sprouts. Ring the
noodles with lime wedges, cherry tomatoes, and mint sprigs and garnish the
top with the fried basil.

Title: COOK UP AN ORIENTAL HOT POT
Categories: Appetizers, Beef, Chinese
Yield: 4 servings

1 lb Raw shrimp, peeled and
-deveined
2 Chicken breasts, skinned,
-boned, and sliced very
-thin, across grain
1/2 lb Beef sirloin sliced very
-thin, across grain
1/2 Head Chinese cabbage or 1
-lettuce heart, coarsely
-cubed
1 c Cubed egg plant or 1 5-ounce
-can (2/3 cup) water
-chestnuts,
Drained and thinly sliced
1 1/2 c Halved fresh mushrooms
4 c Small spinach leaves (stems
-removed)
14 oz Cans (5 1/4 cups) chicken
-broth
3 Chicken bouillon cubes
1 tb Monosodium glutamate
1/2 tb Grated gingerroot or 1/2
-teaspoon ground ginger

Midnight supper, perhaps for New Year’s Eve or after
the show, can be exotic in a hurry. The foods are
sliced ahead, the sauces made, then all stowed in the
refrigerator. When guests are hungry, the hostess
simply heats the broth and sets out the makings.

Genghis Khan hot pot is another name for this Chinese
specialty. Or maybe you’ve seen it on restaurant menus
as volcano soup. We show an honest-to-goodness
Mongolian cooker with a charcoal chimney in the
center, but any chafing dish or electric skillet will
do as well.

What’s cooking. Everything on the tray is raw, of
course–chunks of eggplant, crosscut strips of
sirloin, halved mushrooms, thin slices of chicken
breast, squares of Chinese cabbage, shucked shrimp.
Fresh spinach to simmer along with the other foods is
ready in the big red bowl. The broth is chicken
bouillon that boasts a faint overtone of ginger.
Individual bowls of fluffy rice are served at the same
time as Hot Pot.

The how-to. You pick out a few choice tidbits at a
time and drop them from chopsticks, bamboo tongs, or
fork into the lazily bubbling broth. In a few minutes,
fish them out to dip into zesty sauces on your plate,
like Peanut or Red Sauce, Chinese Mustard or Ginger
Soy.

Traditionalists poach eggs in the broth when it has
taken on subtle flavor from the foods that have
simmered in it. At the very last, the hostess may
ladle the broth as a soup. It’s delicious! Dessert?
Skip it, or serve a fruit bowl and candied ginger with
coffee or tea.

Etiquette: Use one set of chopsticks for cooking and
fishing out morsels from Hot Pot, use a second set for
eating. If only one set is provided for each guest,
simply reverse your chopsticks (large ends down) when
you cook or help yourself to food.

Oriental Hot Pot

Chinese Mustard Ginger Soy Peanut Sauce Red Sauce Hot
cooked rice

Shortly before cooking time arrange the meats and
vegetables on large tray or platter; use a bowl for
spinach. Set out dunking sauces. Provide Bamboo tongs,
chopsticks or long-handled forks as cooking tools for
guests.

Heat chicken broth in electric skillet or chafing dish
(or use Mongolian cooker– directions follow). Add
bouillon cubes to hot broth and stir to dissolve; add
monosodium glutamate and ginger. Heat to simmering.
For cooking have broth barely bubbling. Each Guest
picks up desired foods with chopsticks or whatever,
drops them into the bubbling broth. When his tidbits
are cooked, he lifts them out and dips into the sauces
on his plate. Serve with rice. Makes 4 servings.

To use Mongolian cooker, fill chimney of cooker with
charcoal and add charcoal starter. Pour cold chicken
broth into cooker. Cover cooker, then light charcoal.
When broth is hot, continue as above.
