Pad Kee Mao Recipe

Fresh Wide Rice Noodles ( separate all pieces and put into a bowl with a little oil ) Buy from any Asian shop
12 Prawns or 350gms Chicken or Block Tofu ( marinate in 1 tsp of the sauce below )
Couple of fresh chilli's chopped
1 Cup Thai Basil leaves
1 Green Onion sliced
Bean Sprouts
Broccoli
1-2 Eggs

Sauce: Make into 1 container, for ease
2 Tbsp Golden Mountain Seasoning Soy Sauce                                          
2 Tbsp Thai Oyster Sauce
4 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Palm Sugar
1 Tbsp Thai Chilli Paste ( Nam Prik Pao ) Asian supermarket, sold in a small bottle.
2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 Tsp of white pepper 

Serves 2-3

With a wok on high heat add 2 Tbsp vege oil, cook the chicken and onion then remove, set aside.
Add another 2-3 Tbsp veg oil, get the wok smoking then add the fresh noodles, make sure they don't stick by flicking the wok, add more oil if it starts sticking. Add all the sauces and let it burn into the noodles, then add chicken  / prawn back in. Add the Broccoli, basil leaves and chilli and finish with the Bean Sprouts. Toss around in the wok so that minimal sticking occurs. Push to the side of the wok, add the egg and wait for it to cook otherwise noodles will stick. The stir it all together and cook through for 3-4 Minutes until noodles are well charred. The best wok to use is the $10 ones in the Asian shops as it heats up and smokes very quickly. Just remember to season it every time after use by wiping it down with oil and heating it up on the stove or wok burner for 1 minute on high heat.



Enjoy :)
