Thai Drunken Noodles
Just had a nice walk to the asian market in Woodside and picked up a few things including thai basil and chile peppers. Was going to try this recipe... or some variation of. Found on recipezaar.com. Made this and it was pretty good. I think it needed more sauce though. I should have ignored the boiling of the noodles as they were too soft. Next time I'm just going to soak rice noodles.
8 ounces flat rice noodles
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup diced extra firm tofu
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 sliced Thai chile
1 1/2 cups sliced broccoli
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup Thai basil
Soak noodles for 15 minutes in warm water.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook rice noodles until just tender, about 1 minute; drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar and put it aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add tofu and cook until its a golden colour which should take about 30 seconds to a minute and set this aside.
Add garlic and cook 10 seconds.
Add chili, broccoli, onion and stir fry for 30 secs.
Add the soy sauce mixture, noodles, sprouts, basil and reserved tofu and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until hot.
Serve in a serving platter.
