Easy Pad Thai

Ingredients for Easy Pad Thai

• 230g pad thai or lo mein noodles

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 medium lime)

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon fish sauce

• 1/8 teaspoons red pepper flakes

• 3 spring onions, sliced

• 1/4 bunch fresh coriander, leaves only, roughly chopped

• 40g chopped, unsalted peanuts

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain the noodles and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender.

Whisk the eggs lightly with a fork. Pour them into the skillet and cook just until they solidify, but are still moist, moving the eggs around the skillet slightly as they cook so that they lightly scramble. When the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Add the noodles and toss to coat in the sauce.

Sprinkle the spring onions, coriander, and peanuts over the noodles. Toss lightly to combine. Serve warm.

Pad thai noodles have a unique flavour and texture, but if you can't find them in your area, try substituting another flat pasta like linguine.
