"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Pad Thai Noodles

 

Ingredients

7 oz flat rice noodles
3 tbsp nuoc mam
2 tbsp tomato sauce, canned
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp oil
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tsp chili pepper flakes
1/4 lb pork or chicken, ground
1/4 lb shrimps, raw, with shells
2 tofu cubes, fried
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup bean sprouts, rinsed, dried



 

Preparation

Place noodles in hot (not boiling) water. Let soak for 10 minutes,
drain. In small bowl, combine Nuoc Mam, tomato sauce, and vinegar.
Stir in sugar to dissolve. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in wok or large
frypan over high heat; cook garlic and chili pepper flakes for 15
seconds. Add pork (or chicken) and shrimp. Stir fry until pork and
shrimp change colour. Add tofu pieces and Nuoc Mam mixture to wok,
bring to a boil. Add drained noodles and toss until well coated in
sauce. Transfer to a warm serving platter. Add remaining oil to wok;
add eggs and cook for 10 seconds. Scramble eggs and add bean sprouts.
Return noodles to wok and thoroughly stir to mix eggs with noodles.
Continue to cook until eggs are set. Arrange noodles on serving plate
and garnish with chopped fresh coriander, coarsely chopped peanuts,
minced green onions and chilies, chopped dried shrimps. Serve
immediately. From The Gazette, 92/04/08. Posted by James Lor.
