00:34Like I said, we're making Shrimp Pad Thai

00:37so let's drop down here and see what our ingredients are for this.

00:40We've got 8 ounces of Pad Thai noodles, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce,

00:441 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 large jalapeno sliced,

00:48the juice of 1 lime, 1 quarter cup of olive oil that we're going to divide,

00:522 shallots minced, 2 cloves of garlic minced,

00:551 pound of peeled and deveined medium sized shrimp,

00:582 eggs, 3 green onions that have been sliced.

01:02Let's head over to our stove and start making this Pad Thai.

01:06Alright, we've got everything over here by the stove.

01:08We've got our mise en place ready to go.

01:10Shrimp, all the aromatics, the oil, the eggs, utensils to stir,

01:14and our noodles in the back there.

01:16Let's go ahead and focus on our pan and we'll commence cooking.

01:20And we have the sauce too. You want to make your sauce.

01:23I forgot to add this in there.

01:25You've got your brown sugar, your lime juice, and your fish sauce.

01:30You want to just combine those three together, mix it up real good,

01:33have it ready, go ahead and place it right on into your mise en place,

01:36and you're good to go.

01:38Got our wok on about a medium, medium-high heat.

01:41We're going to add half the oil.

01:44Let that get hot.

01:46Alright, we've got our shallot.

01:48It's fizzling in there so we know the oil's hot now.

01:51Go ahead and throw the aromatics in here, garlic and the shallots.

01:58And I'm going to throw the peppers in there too.

02:03And we're going to stir this up.

02:11You want to just do these up until you start smelling everything cooking,

02:16about two minutes.

02:22Alright, let's add our shrimp.

02:24Right on in there.

02:28Kind of separate them out so they cook.

02:32Get one side cooked.

02:34And we'll flip them over.

02:36And we'll stir fry them.

02:39Alright, we got some color on these yet?

02:42No, we do not.

02:44Just going to flip them over.

02:46They're starting to cook on one side.

02:48They're still a little bit frozen too, so

02:50make sure your shrimp are not frozen.

02:54You just want to cook them until they curl up nice

02:57and they get a little pink or orange color to them.

02:59So, that's what we're doing here.

03:07Alright, we got some level of color on there going now.

03:10Go ahead and add half of our green onions in there.

03:21I'm going to move the shrimp over a little bit to the side there.

03:25We're going to put our egg in here and scramble that up and let it cook.

03:42This adds texture to the dish and also some more flavor.

03:50Let that cook.

03:54Throw the rest of the green onions right in that egg.

04:00Stir that in.

04:05Alright, the eggs are getting pretty set, so I'm going to continue to mix everything together now.

04:14I'm telling you, this smells really, really good.

04:17Put the rest of our oil in there.

04:20Our sauce that we made up with that brown sugar.

04:25Fish sauce and our lime juice.

04:35Stir that all up.

04:41We've got our Pad Thai noodles that we've got here.

04:44You can buy these already made like I have.

04:46They're already cooked.

04:47All you've got to do is add them in to the dish or you can get them, you know, like spaghetti noodles and you can cook them yourself.

04:55But just be sure to follow the package directions.

04:58I'm going to break these all up.

05:01Set them right in there.

05:04Turn the heat down just a touch.

05:06I'm going to stir all these in.

05:15You want to get this hot throughout.

05:17You want the noodles to be hot.

05:19And they absorb some of the liquid and the flavor.

05:22But I'm going to go ahead and let this set for just a minute.

05:25And we're going to plate it up.

05:26Make it look nice.

05:27Take some pictures of it.

05:28Throw in some really good music.

05:30You guys can listen to that while you watch the pictures go by.

05:34And then we're going to come back and we're going to give it a taste.

05:36So you don't want to miss that.

06:14Alright.

06:15Beautiful food.

06:17Lovely music.

06:19Go ahead and stir this up just a little bit so you can actually see it for what it is.

06:24Everything in there.

06:25I've got some carrots, some cilantro, peanuts, and some bean sprouts that I put in there too.

06:31But this is what it looks like with it all covered up.

06:34You couldn't see it really well but that's exactly what we're looking at to eat.

06:41Get a shrimp here first.

06:44Beautiful shrimp.

06:47Tons of flavor coming off of that.

06:49Meaty shrimp.

06:51Make sure you take the tails off too.

06:53But meatiness of that.

06:56All the different textures.

06:57You've got crunch.

06:58You've got smoothness.

07:00You've got the egg in there giving it some flavor and some texture.

07:05Carrots are getting it.

07:06There's our noodle syrup.

07:10Let's give this a bite.

07:15Mmm.

07:20You've got the funk of that fish sauce.

07:22You've got that sweetness of the sugar added to it.

07:24It really does make a nice tasty flavor in there.

07:28There's some more noodles.

07:32Mmm.

07:36Another shrimp.

07:37Oh, there's a little heat in there.

07:38Should add some red pepper flakes in there.

07:40Give it a little color too.

07:42Not seeing our jalapenos in here though.

07:45But I think I just got some of the heat from it.

07:48But I'm going to go ahead and take another bite of this shrimp and then we'll close out here.

07:55Mmm.

07:56Yeah.

07:57It's my dinner tonight.
