S3.E4. Pad Thai with Leo Troy

Listen Later

If there is a theme to Season 3 of the podcast it's "experimentation." I've done a few solo episodes, I have a cross-over episode coming up next week, and this episode is one I recorded live on my phone with my friend Leo Troy where we made Pad Thai together. I like the idea of experimentation rather than following a recipe - whether it be for cooking or podcasting.

Here's a list of the ingredients we used in this dish:

  • Rice stick noodles (I prefer noodles that are about the width of linguine)
  • Firm (or extra firm) tofu
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Sweet pepper (yellow, orange, or red)
  • 4-5 Green onion (scallions) - white/green parts separated
  • 1 clove of Garlic, minced
  • Handful of chopped Peanuts
  • 1/2 Lime
  • Chopped Cilantro (optional) - about 1/2 cup
  • Bean sprouts (optional) - about 1-2 cups
  • Sauce proportions (approximate - adjust to taste): 1/2 cup Tamarind paste, 1/4 cup Fish sauce, 1/4 cup Honey, 1 Tbsp Hot sauce (optional)

    • Feel free to add whatever other ingredients you like or have on hand: chicken, shrimp, other veggies, etc.
