Finally ... I can turn on my PC !! and my Unifi internet is working properly if not u wouldn't see this post lol :)

This post is for veggies lovers but somehow people who doesn't like veggies much or

only like some of veggies also can enjoy with my post ..

Let's get start with the ingredients

****************

Ingredients

1.All your fav veggies ! but in my case I will use

- Carrot

- Broccoli

-baby corn

-Green pea

( all colorful and different in colors ... )

2.Fresh prawn ( pull out the head n' legs> peel out the shell but keep the last segment of shell and the tail tip on cut the back n' take out those black vein > rinse with water )

3.Chopped garlic

4.Oyster sauce

5.white sugar

6.Soya sauce Or Fish sauce

7. Some cooking oil

8.Some water

***************************************

How to : Step by Step

1.Heat up the wok ... once its hot add some cooking oil 1-2 tbsp.

2.Wait for the oil hot and u can add chopped garlic , stir it for 5-10 seconds then add in fresh prawn stir it with the garlic ... when the prawn almost cook u can start adding some veggies in ( for me i will add in those take longer time to cook in first which is broccoli and carrot , add some water and cover the wok with a lid ( if your wok doesn't have a lid u can use a pot lid that can cover those veggies , in this way it makes the veggies to cook faster ! )

3.Add the rest of the veggies in ( Green pea n' baby corn ) leave it cook for a while then add some oyster sauce , sugar , soya sauce or fish sauce ... taste it ... once got the taste u like u can turn off the stove ( at this step don't wait too long b'cuz u don't want the veggies to become TOO SOFT to eat !!!

4.Place it in the plate :) Enjoy ....

Wanna exprience it with me ??????

Okay just follow me step by step :)

....................................

Ingredients

Pad Thai noodle

Chives

Tofu

Fresh Prawns

Dried Shrimps

Bean Sprout

Chilies Powder

White Sugar

Crushed Nut

Egg

Cooking Oil

piece of lime

............

Pad Thai Sauce

White Sugar
Palm Sugar

Tamarine Juice
Oyster Sauce
Fish Sauce

...........................................................

How To : Pad Thai

Okay this is the first ingredient " Chives " u can atually find it in supermarket or morning market. just buy 1 pack of this cuz we dun really use it that much.

after we wash it then u can cut it into smaller piece maybe 1 cm. and leave it dry

There is many types of Tofu... but I only buy this type . its not too soft and it is not to hard . Just nice .. u will have to fry it later

okay so u got tofu ... wash it and then cut it to little square shape. leave it DRY before fry if u dunwan to get burn by the cooking oil.

pour 1 cup of cooking oil into the hot pan then wait until the oil is hot and ready to fry...

Now u deep fry tofu that prepared earlier.. wait till it became yellow brown colour then u can off the stove

put the deep fried tofu on the kitchen tissue. let the tissue suck the oil and u also can wipe the oil away too..

Now the most important step..i guess !!... cuz pad thai will be tasty and yummy or not it depends on the Sauce !!!... if the sauce nice then ur pad thai will be nice also if not nice then.......too bad !!

so in this photo u need to prepare : White Sugar,Palm Sugar,Tamarine Juice,Oyster Sauce,Fish Sauce....

Pour everything into the small pot..ready to stir

Boil it for 7-10 mins until the Palm sugar dissove.. once its done leave it cool..

So now u got the sauce :) taste it and make sure the taste will be sour first then sweet and the last taste will be salty :) no worry if it very tasty cuz later when u cook pad thai the taste will be just nice . but if u dun like u can add a little bit of water...

Put pad thai noodle in the boiling water 3-5 mins

NOT TOO SOFT cuz later u have to fry it again

BUT ALSO NOT TOO HARD later can not bite hehehe

Okay once its cooked... put it into the cold water to retain it not to be too soft

so thats the yummy pad thai noodle :)

Prepare 1 bowl and put the pad thai noodle in. just for 1 serve

Add some oil and mix it together

and this step u have to put 3 (or more) fresh prawns , 1tbsp. deep fried tofu,1-2 tsp. chilies powder,1tbsp. crushed nut,1tbsp. dried shrimp,1 fullhand fesh bean sprout,1-2 pinch chives.and yes 1 egg.... why have to prepare everything in 1 bowl?? becuz its faster this way and u wont forget to put this or that and this dish u need to fry it fast !!

and the last thing : 4-5 tbsp. of PAD THAI SAUCE !!!!

Heat up the wok and pour about 3 tbps of cooking oil. Allow it to get heated, then break one egg into it.

Scramble the egg, not too cook

Throw in the prawns an stir fry together with the egg until the prawn is 70% cooked.

Pour in the rest of the ingrediant that was prepared earlier in the bowl and stir fry it

Mix throughly and quickly to ensure all the ingredient is cooked properly

The noodle will look brownish and that means the sauce has mixed well. Start transffering to a plate...

Add the sugar, chilie flake and crushed nuts at the side of the plate. Add one wegdge of lime, to squeeze when serve

Here is the finishing touch, garnish with fresh chives

If you want to wrap the pad thai with egg, beat an egg in a bowl

Pour the egg into a oiled non stick frying pan, with low heat.

When the egg is cooked, lay the egg on a big flat plate and pour the fried pad thai into the middle of the plate, and wrap the pad thai by folding each corner of the egg. Use another plate on top and turn it upside down. Cut an 'X' in the middle of egg and unfold slightly.

Some people like to mix in fresh bean sprout to the pad thai, adding a crunchiness to the dish

My husband in love with my pad thai :) and i hope u guys like it too.

This dish is very easy to prepare and cook and does not take too long.

The ingredients are easily available in all major supermarket, I got mine from Jusco Bukit Tinggi supermarket and it should not be a problem to anyone else. The ingredients are fresh and affordable for anyone.

Nothing taste better than a home cook Pad Thai, comparing to those available in local Thai restaurant in Malaysia.

And with my recipe IT IS A 100% YUMMY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust Me !!

*Enjoy Cooking*

Some little story about my Pad Thai... This is not the first time I'm trying to cook Pad Thai... But its a 3rd. time I'm cooking it and only this time is successful making it !! shame shame* The first 2 time it was so watery and the sauce wasnt right .. So I kept changing the recipe myself until the 3rd time. I added some oyster sauce into the sauce ..And yes finally I got the taste that I wanted for so long... and now only I dare to share it to all my friends and also dare to post it here :) hehe.....

Not to side myself abt the taste of my Pad Thai ... But I cooked for my husband,my mother,my sister in law ( SueAnn ) and my friend ( Karen ) and They all said its very nice and yummy :) They even finished the whole plate when they usually dont really eat much and seldom finish the food... Thanks to u all Now I feel more confident in my Pad Thai :) HA HA HA
