How to Make Artichoke Pad Thai
- Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add thinly sliced green onions and cook for another minute until softened.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the wok and toss to combine.
- Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to coat the noodles.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the noodles are heated through.
- Push the noodles to one side of the wok. Pour in the egg whites and scramble gently until cooked through and opaque.
- Stir the scrambled eggs into the noodles.
- Garnish with remaining sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
