Nu stiu daca voua vi se intampla, dar eu dezvolt obsesii pentru anumite mancaruri, adica imi plac o perioada de timp exagerat de mult, de nu as manca nimic altceva decat respectiva mancare :)) ei, asa mi s-a intamplat cu preparatele thailandeze...cand am venit in Canada si eram newcomeri inca, eram foarte reticenti cand venea vorba sa incercam preparate din alte bucatarii. Se stie ca Toronto e renumit pentru diversitatea preparatelor culinare din toate bucatariile lumii, fapt pentru care treptat am inceput sa incercam si altceva decat bucataria mediteraneana, foarte apropiata de cea romaneasca. Trebuie sa recunosc ca gusturile mi s-au schimbat treptat si am ajuns sa-mi fie pofta sa mananc mancare mexicana sau chinezeasca, jamaicana sau thailandeza. Banuiesc ca spiritul orasului a reusit sa ma corupa :))
Astazi vreau sa va prezint reteta pentru puiul prajit in stil Thai cu taitei de orez si legume, una din obsesiile mele recente :) Sursa de inspiratie este
The parsley thief. Reteta este una foarte usoara, potrivita pentru o cina in familie, foarte simplu de pregatit si delicioasa. Sper sa va placa!
I don't know if this happens to you as well, but I have culinary obsessions, that means I really obsess about
something I want to eat, and it's so intense that I don't want to eat nothing but that particular dish :)) well, this happened recently with Thai food...when we came to Canada and we were newcomers, we weren't too keen on any dishes that weren't Mediterranean or very close flavored to Romanian cuisine. Everybody knows that Toronto is famous for having a diverse range of culinary dishes from all world cuisines, and because of that we
slowly started to try some new stuff as well like Mexican food, Chinese, Jamaican or Thai. I guess the city's spirit got to us :))
Today I want to present to you the recipe for Thai chicken and rice noodles with vegetables, one of my recent food obsessions :) My inspiration was The parsley thief. This recipe is very light, suitable for a family dinner, very simple to prepare but extremely delicious. Hope you''ll like it!

Ingredients for Thai Chicken:
600 g piept de pui taiat felii subtiri/
600 g strips of chicken breast
2 cepe verzi/
2 green onions
2 catei usturoi/
2 garlic cloves
1/2 lta de fulgi ardei/
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 linguri de zahar brun/
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 lingura suc de lamaie verde/
1 tablespoon lemon juice
125 ml sos de soia/
125 ml soya sauce
2 linguri otet de orez/
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 lingurita pasta de ansoa/
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
Cum se face/How it's made:
Mai intai facem marinada pentru pui, preferabil cu minim o ora inainte de a-l prepara.
Tocam ceapa si usturoiul marunt.
First we make the marinade for the chicken.
We chop the green onion and garlic.
Adaugam peste ele intr-un bol sucul de lamaie, sosul de soia, otetul de orez, zaharul brun, ardeiul iute uscat si pasta de ansoa. Amestecam cu puiul impreuna si lasam la marinat intr-un vas acoperit cu capac in frigider timp de minim o ora (eu am lasat vreo 4 ore)
In a bowl we add the onion and garlic, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar and anchovy paste, we mix them very well and we add the chicken strips, mixing a little.
We place the chicken with the marinade in a covered dish in the fridge for at least 1 hour.(I left it in the fridge for 4 hours)
Cand puiul a stat suficient la marinat, preparam taiteii.
Curatam legumele si taiem morcovii si ardeii betigase, telina si ciupercile felii, iar usturoiul, ceapa verde si ghimbirul le tocam marunt.
We wash and peel the vegetables, and we chop the garlic, green onion and ginger.
We cut thin strips of carrot and pepper and we slice the celery stick and mushrooms.
Intr-o tigaie mare punem putin ulei si prajim 1 minute usturoiul cu ceapa verde si ghimbirul.
In a pan with a little bit of oil, we fry the onion with the garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
Adaugam morcovii si telina si lasam la prajit inca 1 minut.
We add the carrot with the celery and fry for 1 more minute.
Adaugam ardeiul si ciupercile, amestecam si lasam se se prajeasca inca vreo 2 minute totul.
We add the peppers and the mushrooms and we fry them for another 2 minutes.
Adaugam taiteii de orez fierti si strecurati.
We add the cooked and drained rice noodles.
Adaugam sosul de soia, sare, piper, si amestecam bine.
We add the soy sauce, salt and pepper and we mix them all very well.
Et voila varianta vegetariana Singapore noodles care merg foarte bine cu orice fel de carne. Mai de aproape:
These are also known as Singapore noodles (vegetarian ones). Closer:
Acoperim cu un capac pana ne ocupam de pui.
Scurgem puiul de sos si il prajim intr-o tigaie cu putin ulei.
We remove from the stove and we cover the noodles with a lid until we prepare the chicken.
We remove the chicken from the fridge and drain the sauce. We fry the chicken strips in a pan with some vegetable oil until it's golden brown.
Luam de pe foc cand puiul e rumenit frumos.
We remove from the stove.
Servim puiul prajit cu taiteii de orez, este o combinatie excelenta! (Eu am servit si cu broccoli fiert langa).
We serve the chicken with the rice noodles warm.(I added some cooked broccoli). Bon appetit!
Mirosul ce il lasa in casa e uimitor, mi se face pofta doar cand ma uit la poza :))) Mai de aproape...Bon appetit!
The smell is amazing, it makes me drool only when I look at these photos :))) Closer...
Puiul are o aroma superba, doar sa-l incercati o data! Astept comentariile voastre cu obsesiile voastre culinare, daca aveti asa ceva :)) Va doresc un weekend grozav!
I'd be delighted to find out what are your culinary obsessions :) Enjoy the weekend everyone!!!
