Pad thai is delicious, and I'm always wanting this from the local Thai restaurant. However it's absolutely packed with calories, so this is the way to make it yourself for a reasonable amount of calories.
Serves two, 340 calories per serve. Add more veges and cut out the noodles to reduce calories.
Ingredients:
150g chicken, diced or 250g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
75g rice vermicelli noodles
1 onion, diced
1 red capsicum, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
Handful snow peas, cut in half
Sauce: (combine in a cup to add all at once)
1 tsbpn hoisin
1 tbspn fish sauce
1 tbspn oyster sauce
2 tbspn brown sugar
1 tspn chilli (more or less depending on how much you can handle)
1 tbspn lime juice, or juice and zest of 1 lime
Method:
In a wok or large frypan, spray oil to cook the chicken or prawns, then remove them to put in a bowl.
Cook the noodles according to packet instructions.
In the same pan, fry up the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
Add the carrots and cook for 2 minutes, then the rest of the veges, cook for another minute or two.
Add the sauce and the chicken/prawns . Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly.
Add noodles, toss through to heat and serve.
