5 Star Thai Noodles with Peanut Sauce

Updated On: Sep 05, 2023

Wow…it’s been an interesting week on the Farm. Both my husband and I have been working extremely hard this week. One of the meals I love making on short notice is Phad Thai. It’s so simple to make and pretty healthy to boot! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! By the way, the best place to buy rice noodles and red curry is Cost Plus World Market. I always stock up on the rice noodles as they sometimes run low.

8 oz rice noodles
1 c roasted peanuts
1 c vegetable broth
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

instructions:
1) place 1 cup peanuts in the food processor, process until they make a smooth peanut butter.
2) in a large serving bowl add the red pepper, green onions and basil, set aside.
3) in a medium stock pot, bring water to a boil and add the rice noodles. cook until the pasta is no longer chewy. drain and place the noodles in the serving bowl.
4) in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the shrimp in a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray until just pink. add to the serving bowl.
5) in the same saute pan over medium-high heat, add the 4 eggs and scramble with a spatula until just cooked. add to the serving bowl.
6) add the peanut butter and vegetable stock to the saute pan and cook until it begins to bubble. add the brown sugar, ginger, curry paste, salt and garlic and boil for 2-3 minutes. add the peanut sauce to the food processor and let stand 5 minutes. add the rice vinegar to the peanut sauce and process until smooth. add the sauce to the serving bowl and toss all ingredients together. sprinkle with the remaining chopped peanuts and serve with the lime wedges.
