How to Make Beef Pad Thai With Peanut Sauce Asian Noodles
- **Prepare the Peanut Sauce:** Combine 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste), 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 inch ginger (grated), and 1/4 cup water in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, for a thinner consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed; add more fish sauce for saltiness, sriracha for spice, or lime juice for acidity.
- **Cook the Noodles:** Cook 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- **Stir-fry the Beef:** Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 inch ginger (minced) and 2 cloves garlic (minced); stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- **Add Vegetables:** Add 1/2 cup sliced onions and 1 cup sliced mushrooms; stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened.
- **Cook the Beef:** Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- **Combine and Simmer:** Stir in 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce and 1/2 cup of the prepared peanut sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- **Add Noodles:** Add the cooked noodles to the beef mixture. Toss gently to coat evenly with the sauce.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts and 2 scallions (chopped).
- **Leftovers:** Store leftover peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
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!
