Jill's Pad Thai

Jill is responsible for the Pad Thai you may notice popping up a lot on my blog, she also introduced me to chicken Jambalaya and I can't wait to go back to Belfast in November so she can make me some more yummy meals we can have a magical wonderful time together.

Pad Thai is really easy to make, very filling, low calories and full of goodness!



It's so good I didn't want to hang around to adjust the white balance on my camera so please excuse the pale photo!

Serves 1:

• 100g King Prawns


• 80g Noodles


• 20g/2 Spring Onions


• 50g Carrots Sliced Julienne style


• 15g Cashew or Monkey Nuts


• 1 Egg


• 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce


• 1 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice


• 1 Tsp Dark Brown Muscovado Sugar


• ½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper


• 1 Tsp Groundnut Oil

Make sauce from lime juice, sugar, cayenne & fish sauce. Mix well and set aside.


Chop veg



Prepare noodles by soaking in boiling water while preparing the veg



I should probably tell you to peel prawns and stuff, but I just soak mine in some cold water to defrost! :D


Heat oil and stirfry carrots & spring onions until carrots are soft. Then add prawns (I use ready to eat or cooked and frozen so you may want to put raw ones in a bit sooner)





Add in noodles and stirfry until heated through.


Add the egg and scramble it in.


Add sauce and peanuts and stirfry for a further 2 minutes or until whole mixture is cooked through.
