Pad Thai For Life!

So, who doesn't just LOVE Pad Thai? Its always great, even left over and I cannot get enough of the peanuts that are always on top... such a great texture with the noodles. Well, I found (and tweaked) a great recipe and I cannot rest until I share it. I added different things and, as always, doubled the amount of sauce. (Because I am a self-proclaimed condiment whore.)

Pad Thai

1 package of rice noodles (I found mine at Publix)

3 eggs, lightly scrambled

2 stalks of green onions, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

6 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp hoisin sauce (can be substituted for so many other sweet asain sauces)

Chopped peanuts (at least 1/4c. but I added more because they are my favorite part)

Fresh cilantro, chopped

1.) Soak noodles in water for 10-15 min or until slightly aldente

2.) In a bowl, mix sou sauce, brown sugar, lime juice and hoisin sauce, set aside.

3.) In a non-stick skillet, heat 3 tbsp of olive oil and scramble 3 eggs with the garlic and green onions. (I like my eggs scrambled well in this dish.) Remove eggs and set aside.

4.) In skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and add the noodles and sauce. Sautee for a few minutes, then add the egg mixture.

5.) Top with fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts.

6.) Chow down. 

I am not saying it's the traditional way to make it, but it was so damn good.

I served it with a cucumber salad and homemade eggsrolls. I will share both of those recipes if anyone is interested.
