BEEF PAD THAI WITH PEANUT SAUCE & ASIAN NOODLES



Beef Pad Thai With Peanut Sauce & Asian Noodles image

I took two different recipes here & combined them. However - some of both of these recipes ingredients didn't quite give enough flavor to the dish. Thus, I have experimented with some flavors I believe work very nicely here and the result is quite good indeed. My husband, (who is a very picky eater by the way), couldn't get enough.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/3 cup water
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
2 tablespoons asian fish sauce (If vegetarian, use vegetarian fish sauce or regular soy sauce)
1/2 teaspoon tahini paste
1 teaspoon red chili sauce (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon lime juice
lime zest
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger (you can find this in the oriental section of your grocery store) or 1 teaspoon sliced ginger in a jar (you can find this in the oriental section of your grocery store)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 -4 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced or 1 cup shiitake mushroom

1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts
1/4 cup chopped scallion (3-4 scallions, white & green parts)
8 ounces soba noodles, noodes or 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti

Steps:

  • Thai Peanut Sauce Preparation: Place the first 12 ingredients (from the peanuts to the lime zest), in a blender. Blend until sauce is smooth. If you prefer a runnier peanut sauce, add a little more water. Do a taste test for salt and spice, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough, and more chili sauce &/or red pepper flakes, if not spicy enough. If too salty, add another squeeze of fresh limejuice.
  • Beef Pad Thai Preparation: Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, and cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap to keep warm.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic - cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the sliced onions & mushrooms, stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the beef and stir-fry another 2 minutes. Next, add the teriyaki sauce & a 1/2 cup of the Thai peanut sauce, stir all together, and simmer until the beef is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Transfer the noodles to the beef mixture & toss to combine. Serve on individual plates topped with the peanuts and scallions. The leftover peanut sauce will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 3 months; thaw completely in the refrigerator or microwave for about 3 minutes on LOW before using.

From the spicy and savory Pho in Vietnam to the sweet and salty Ramen in Japan, Asian beef noodle recipes are a must-try for any food lover.

The Ingredients

The key ingredients of Asian beef noodle recipes are beef, noodles, and a flavorful broth. Thinly sliced beef is typically used in these recipes, and it is important to choose the right cut of meat to ensure tenderness. The most commonly used cuts are flank steak, sirloin, and brisket. Noodles also vary depending on the recipe; some use rice noodles, while others use wheat noodles. The broth is usually made from a combination of herbs, spices, and vegetables, such as ginger, garlic, onions, and lemongrass.

The Flavors

Asian beef noodle recipes are all about the flavors. Each region has its unique blend of spices and herbs that give the broth its distinct taste. Vietnamese Pho is known for its spicy and savory broth made from beef bones, star anise, and cinnamon. Chinese beef noodle soup is known for its rich and deep flavor, with ingredients like soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and Szechuan peppercorns. Japanese Ramen typically has a salty and savory broth made from soy sauce, miso paste, and sake.

The Vegetables

Vegetables are an important component of Asian beef noodle recipes. They not only add flavor but also provide essential nutrients to the dish. Common vegetables used in these recipes include bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro. The vegetables are added to the broth and cooked until they are tender but still retain some crunch.

The Variations

There are countless variations of Asian beef noodle recipes. Here are some of the most popular ones:
Pho
Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup that is made with beef broth and rice noodles. The broth is made by simmering beef bones with aromatics such as ginger, onions, and star anise. Thinly sliced beef is then added to the broth and cooked until tender. The soup is garnished with bean sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro, and lime wedges. Sriracha and hoisin sauce are usually served on the side for added flavor.
Chinese Beef Noodle Soup
Chinese beef noodle soup is a hearty dish that is made using wheat noodles, braised beef, and a rich and flavorful broth. The broth is made by braising beef shanks with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and aromatic spices like Szechuan peppercorns and ginger. The dish is often served with bok choy, carrots, and scallions.
Ramen
Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup that is typically served with pork, but beef is also a popular protein choice. The broth is made using pork bones, soy sauce, miso paste, and sake. The noodles are typically made from wheat and are served in a bowl with the broth, sliced beef, and various toppings such as nori, green onions, and soft-boiled eggs.

Valuable Tips When Making Asian Beef Noodles Recipes

Asian beef noodles are a classic dish that can be found in many Asian countries, and each region has their own unique way of preparing it. Some prefer a spicy, tangy, or sweet flavor profile, while others opt for a mild and savory taste. Regardless of which variation you prefer, there are a few valuable tips to keep in mind when making any Asian beef noodles recipe.

Use the Right Type of Noodles

The type of noodles you use can greatly impact the flavor and texture of your dish. There are several types of noodles that are commonly used in Asian beef noodle recipes, including:

1. Rice noodles

Rice noodles are a popular choice for many Asian noodle dishes, including beef noodles. They have a tender texture that pairs well with the bold flavors of the dish.

When using rice noodles, it's important to follow the package instructions on how to prepare them. Some brands may require soaking in warm water for a longer period, while others need to be boiled for a few minutes. Overcooking the noodles can make them mushy and ruin the texture of your dish.

2. Egg noodles

Egg noodles are thicker than rice noodles and have a chewier texture. They are a good option if you prefer a heartier noodle in your beef noodle soup.

As with rice noodles, it's important to cook egg noodles according to the package instructions to ensure they don't become too hard or too soft.

3. Udon noodles

Udon noodles are thick, chewy, and have a slippery texture that pairs well with the savory flavors of beef noodle soup. They are often found in Japanese-style beef noodle soups.

Udon noodles should be cooked in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes to achieve the perfect texture.

Invest in Quality Beef and Broth

Beef is the star of the show in any beef noodle recipe, and it's important to invest in quality meat to ensure the best flavor and texture. Look for well-marbled cuts of beef like chuck or sirloin.

Bone broth is another essential ingredient that adds richness and depth to beef noodle soup. You can make your own bone broth by simmering beef bones for several hours, or you can pick up pre-made broth from your local grocery store.

If you choose to make your own broth, be sure to skim off any impurities that rise to the top during the simmering process. This will give you a clear and flavorful broth.

Include Fresh Vegetables and Herbs

Vegetables and herbs are a great way to add fresh flavor and nutrients to your beef noodle soup. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Bok choy or Chinese cabbage

Bok choy or Chinese cabbage is a common ingredient in beef noodle soup. They have a mild flavor and a crunchy texture that pairs well with the tender beef and chewy noodles.

2. Green onions

Green onions add a pop of color and a bright flavor to beef noodle soup. Be sure to slice them thinly, so they soften in the broth.

3. Cilantro

Cilantro is a fresh herb that adds a bright and citrusy flavor to beef noodle soup. Be sure to chop it finely and add it just before serving, so it stays crisp.

Balance the Flavors

Asian beef noodle soups are all about balancing the flavors. You want to achieve a harmonious blend of salty, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. Here are a few tips to help you achieve a perfectly balanced beef noodle soup:

1. Use the Right Amount of Seasonings

Seasonings like soy sauce, fish sauce, and chili paste can quickly overpower the other ingredients in the soup. Be sure to use the right amount of each seasoning and taste as you go.

2. Add Sugar or Honey to Balance Out Saltiness

If your soup is too salty, you can add a bit of sugar or honey to balance out the flavors. Start with half a teaspoon and adjust as needed.

3. Add Acidic Ingredients to Cut Through Fat

Beef noodle soup can be quite rich, and acidic ingredients like lime juice, rice vinegar, or tamarind paste can help cut through the fat and add a bright flavor to the soup. Be sure to add the acidic ingredients just before serving to prevent the flavors from muddying.

Let the Soup Simmer for a Long Time

The longer you simmer the beef broth, the more robust the flavor will be. Be sure to allow enough time for the flavors to develop. Simmering for at least 3-4 hours will give you a richer and more flavorful broth.

While the soup simmers, be sure to skim off any impurities and foam that rise to the top. This will give you a cleaner and clearer broth.

Final Thoughts

Asian beef noodle soup is a hearty and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these valuable tips, you can create a flavorful and balanced soup that will impress your family and friends.

Remember to pay close attention to the seasoning, balance of flavors, and quality of ingredients to achieve the best results.
