Thai Stir-Fried Mung Bean (Pad Woon Sen)
This is my daughter's, Alyse, favorite Thai dish. It's very quick and easy to make, is gluten free and super delicious! The bean thread is getting easier to find, with many regular groceries carrying it in the International section.
Recipe:
6 Bundles of bean thread (a package usually has 8 little bundles)
1 lb Chicken pieces, sliced on angle
4 lg Garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
4 Tbs Fish sauce
1 Tbs Sucanut or palm sugar
1/2 C Oil
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
1/4-1/2 C chicken broth
1 Small red bell pepper, julienne
2 C Beansprouts
2 Green onions, ½ inch sliced on angle
Cracked black pepper
Soak bean thread in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain and cut in 4 inch pieces. Heat oil in wok on high until smoking. Add chicken and garlic and stir to break apart. Add fish sauce and sucanut and stir-fry until chicken is done (about 1-2 minutes). Add noodles and begin to stir and break apart, add eggs and continue stirring. Add chicken broth as needed to keep it from getting dry and sticking to the wok, but don't overdue it. This is a dryer dish that doesn't need rice served with it. Add beansprouts, peppers and green onions until mixed. Remove from heat, move to serving platter and crack fresh black pepper on top.
