Pat Ki Mao

Hi,

 

I just got this strong urge to make myself a zesty portion of Spaghetti Pat Ki Mao, but...

I havent got a recipe for that. Any good tips on how to pat ki mao?

 

Cheers,

Well thanks Samak,

 

It looks only party comprehensible, for instance the word -rijstnoedels- sounds more like peanut in danish.

 

I have considered the whole thing and arrived to this:

I will pop down to the local thai supermarket and ask the cute girl behind the counter. Maybe she can introduce me to a good pat ki mao. I have the wok already, Im nearly there.

 

cheers,

Pharcyde said:-rijstnoedels- sounds more like peanut in danish.

even i understand that with a bit of creative thinking: ricenoodles!

[Pharcyde]

Right about that you are!

 

Better to use rice noodles than roasted nuts in the old pat ki mao.

 

cheers!

Thanks a lot for the translational effort.

 

I should add that I went to the local thai store and asked the people there. There were three thais who all eagerly gave me their version of the needed ingredients. Apparently one can make pat kee mao in many ways.

 

I have made it now twice. The first time it was too salty, because I put in way too much soy sauce. Careful with that.

 

Second time was actually quite good (if I should say so meself). Heres what I did for one hungry person:

 

-Chopped two or three fingers of garlic.

-Ditto with two or three scallots (the small thai scallots, not the big ones from here, mind.)

Three or four small chilis, also chopped. (pet klang)

-One cm of fresh ginger, chopped in small pieces (had no galangal, ginger had to do).

 

As for groceries I used this:

Morning Glory chopped. Generous amount.

"Pak chi Farang" which is actually just long leafed koriander. The usual one will do, too. Use as much as you like. Apparently its an aphrodisiac....

-Spring onions, about three or four.

-Some Thai mint leaves to garnish.

 

I chopped some (about 200 grams) of chicken breast and after heating the scallots and garlic and chilis I threw the chicken into the Wok and gave it a fry. After a couple of minutes, when the chicken was almost done I added the groceries and the other stuff in descending order from hard to soft.

 

I put in fish sauce, light soy sauce, and Yellow bean paste (important ingredient). Also I put in a little pounded chili powder and a good spoon of palm sugar.

 

Then taste. Add some water and some rice flour to thicken the sauce, and voila.

 

Also, I used normal spaghetti and not rice noodles. It workd just fine, just dont use any parmesan cheese this time.

 

Cheers,

Pc.
