Introduction
A street food guide and cooking masterclass featuring three of Thailand's most iconic stir-fried noodle dishes: the sweet and spicy Pad Thai, the comforting gravy-laden Lad Na, and the smoky, savory Pad See Ew.
Step 1
【Pad Thai】Cook the rice noodles on a flat grill, tossing them with chives, bean sprouts, egg, dried shrimp, chili powder, and Pad Thai sauce. Use a splash of coconut milk directly on the noodles in the pan to make them tender and sweet.
Step 2
【Pad Thai】Serve the hot noodles garnished with a lime wedge, raw bean sprouts, pennywort leaves, and the heart of a banana blossom.
Step 3
【Lad Na】Heat pork lard in a wok over a charcoal stove, then add soybean paste and fry until highly aromatic.
Step 4
【Lad Na】Add Chinese broccoli and stir-fry to coat the greens thoroughly with the lard and soybean paste.
Step 5
【Lad Na】Pour in pork bone broth and vegetable stock, then season with sugar and fish sauce. Add the marinated pork, scattering it gently to mix.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using a charcoal stove with mangrove wood charcoal provides intense, long-lasting heat which imparts a beautiful, authentic Wok Hei aroma.
For Lad Na, avoid over-stirring once the pork is added to prevent bruising the ingredients and breaking the pork apart.
Patience is key for Pad See Ew; allow the sugar and dark soy sauce to slightly caramelize and char at the bottom of the wok to develop its signature smoky flavor.
The tapioca starch slurry used in Lad Na provides a glossy coating that preserves the tenderness of the pork and the crispness of the greens.
