If your fry-pan is too small, leave the noodles out in step 4 and instead add to a large bowl. After stir frying the rest of the ingredients in step 5, add them to the noodle bowl and toss everything together.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3½ Tbsp mild sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/3 cup coconut cream
Pad Thai
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 2 makrut lime leaves
- 2-3 spring onions
- 2 baby bok choy
- 2 carrots
- 300g rice-stick noodles
- 600g turkey mince
- 100g mung bean sprouts
- Pinch of chilli flakes (optional, adults)
Steps
-
Bring a medium pot of water to the boil. Remove tough outer layer of lemongrass and very thinly slice; remove tough central stem of lime leaves and very thinly slice; cut spring onions into 2cm lengths, keeping white and green parts separate; thinly slice bok choy, keeping stalk and leaves separate; cut carrot into matchsticks or grate.
-
Mix all pad Thai sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Place noodles in pot of boiling water. Stir well to separate strands, cover and turn off heat. Leave for 8 minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, then drain well again. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent noodles sticking and cut in a few places to make them easier to eat.
-
While noodles cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook turkey mince for about 5 minutes, breaking up with wooden spoon until browned. Set aside and return pan to heat with a drizzle of oil.
-
Cook lemongrass, makrut lime, spring onions (white part), bok choy stalks (white part) and carrots for 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften. Add drained noodles, cooked turkey, green part of spring onions, bok choy leaves, mung bean sprouts, chilli flakes (if using) and sauce.
-
Stir-fry, tossing all together, for 1-2 minutes, until bok choy has wilted and sauce coats the veggies. Season to taste.
-
To serve, divide turkey pad Thai between plates or bowls.
