When I don’t feel like cooking but know it is hopeless to think someone somewhere will cook for me I usually turn to noodles. To me, a truly lazy meal does not involve chopping an onion, that is where I draw the unindustrious line, and so Thai-style noodles come in really handy. In this version of paht si-yu I used bok choi and oyster (mushroom) sauce, the latter is non traditional but I find that it subs for fish sauce, it is a totally different flavor but still tastes Thai and adds a little more depth than soy sauce. This meal really takes less then ten minutes.
Cook
1/2 rice stick noodles (here is some direction)
Mix
2 Tablespoons of light soy sauce or Bragg’s
2 Tablespoons of Oyster sauce
1 T Molasses
1 T Brown Sugar
1/2 each of salt and pepper
Chop
4 cloves of garlic
1 mess of greens
Sauté the garlic in cooking oil in a hot wok or skillet until it changes color, maybe 30 seconds. Add the greens and some broth if you need to. Spinach will cook fast, a minute or but Kale would take longer, like 5 minutes. When the greens are almost done add the noodles and stir fry for a minute and then add the sauce and mix well. Take off the heat and enjoy!
mm… seriously you’re killing me with all your delicious looking thai!!!
That looks so insanely good right now. Noodles are definitely one of my go-to dishes when I have random bits of veggies hanging around.
This looks really good, but….oyster sauce? Surely that’s not vegan…
Oyster sauce is vegan if you look for it, I get oyster MUSHROOM sauce, just read the labels. Here is a recipe in case you can’t find some in your local market.
