|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
### For the Stir-Fry
|
|
|
|
* **4 oz** dry brown rice noodles
|
|
* **2 tsp** sesame oil, extra virgin olive oil, or canola oil
|
|
* **8 oz** medium/large shrimp, peeled and deveined
|
|
* **2** cloves garlic, minced
|
|
* **2** large eggs or **1/2 cup** egg substitute
|
|
* **1/2 cup** bean sprouts
|
|
* **1/2 cup** grated carrots
|
|
* **2** large (or **3** small) green onions, finely chopped
|
|
* **1/4 cup** peanuts, finely chopped
|
|
* **1/4 cup** fresh cilantro, chopped
|
|
* **1** lime, quartered
|
|
|
|
#### Notes
|
|
|
|
* Use either fresh shrimp or thawed frozen shrimp.
|
|
If using thawed, lightly pat the shrimp dry prior to cooking.
|
|
|
|
* For a meat-free option, substitute the shrimp 1:1 with sliced mushrooms.
|
|
|
|
* If you cannot find fresh bean sprouts,
|
|
you can substitute with rinsed, canned bean sprouts
|
|
or another fresh vegetable.
|
|
Note that canned bean sprouts have a more fermented taste.
|
|
|
|
### For the Sauce
|
|
|
|
* **2 tbsp** fish sauce
|
|
* **1-1/2** tbsp rice vinegar
|
|
* **1 tbsp** low-sodium soy sauce
|
|
* **2 tbsp** water
|
|
* **1-3 tbsp** honey
|
|
* **1-3 tsp** ground chile sauce (sambal oelek) or chili garlic sauce
|
|
|
|
#### Notes
|
|
|
|
* For a sweeter pad thai, add additional honey or a little brown sugar.
|
|
For spicier, add additional chili paste.

## Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Cook the rice noodles until soft, but not mushy.
|
|
Drain and rinse under cool water.
|
|
|
|
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
|
|
|
|
3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
|
|
Add the shrimp and saute about 2 minutes,
|
|
or just until the shrimp begins to turn pink.
|
|
|
|
4. Add the garlic and noodles.
|
|
Stir continuously to coat the noodles and shrimp with the garlic,
|
|
then push the ingredients over to one side of the pan.
|
|
|
|
5. Crack the eggs into the empty side of the pan
|
|
and break apart the yolk with the spatula.
|
|
Let cook for 30 seconds, until just beginning to set.
|
|
|
|
6. Add the sauce and stir everything to combine.
|
|
|
|
7. Add the bean sprouts, carrots, and chopped green onions
|
|
and let cook about 1 minute,
|
|
or until the bean sprouts are crisp-tender.
|
|
|
|
8. Sprinkle on the peanuts and cilantro.
|
|
Serve immediately with lime wedges.
|
|

### Notes
|
|
|
|
* Keep leftovers in an airtight container
|
|
in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
|
|
|
|
* To reheat: Warm in the microwave
|
|
with a splash of water or chicken broth
