Pad See Ew

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

This recipe comes from Mika, (Lara's sister-in-law). Pad See Ew (also known as Phat Si Lo) is a Thai dish that is commonly eaten in Thailand. According to Wikipedia (cause I (Jen) looked it up), Phat Si Lo means "fried with soy sauce". I think I would like anything fried with soy sauce and this looks super yummy. I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much Mika! I love how everyone is chipping in their recipes to help out Lara. Recipe by Mika

Ingredients:

1 tsp of fresh ginger
1 tsp of vegetable oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 lb of chicken, pork or shrimp
1 lb of rice noodles (if they aren't cut - cut them into 3/4 inch ribbons)
1 lb of chinese broccoli or regular broccoli
6 eggs, beaten and scrambled

Ingredients for Sauce:
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce. I use Ponzu instead to give it a good lime taste.

Directions:
Mix together the sugar, and soy sauces until sugar is dissolved.
Cube the chicken and cut up the ginger.
Saute the garlic, ginger and meat until the meat is done.
Cook the rice noodles according to direction on package.

Cook broccoli for only a little bit. You want it to be kinda crunchy. Or you can be lazy like me and buy the microwave steam-able ones.

Scramble your eggs. (It's easiest to beat your eggs together in a bowl and then pour the beaten eggs into a med high heat pan. Stir occasionally to scramble them.)

Combine rice noodles, soy sauce mixture, meat, broccoli, and scrambled eggs and stir until noodles are separated and almost clear.

Serve immediately.

Butterscotch Cheesecake

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Day 4 of Cheesecake Week at Recipe Shoebox brings us this drool-worthy culinary delight from my sister-in-law Mika.  Be sure to come back each day this week for a new cheesecake recipe and stay tuned for a Linky Party coming up on Friday where you all can link up your cheesecake recipes as well! 

From Mika:  I fell in love with butterscotch cheesecake on my flight home from London on British Airways. They had the best airline food. When I got home I tried to recreate it and this recipe turned out AMAZING. The first picture doesn't have the right number of ingredients because I had to hurry before a certain 1 year old got his hands on them. But you get the idea.

The ingredients:

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup cold 2% milk
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant butterscotch pudding mix
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Whipped cream and crushed butterscotch candies, and butterscotch sauce, optional

Directions:
Place a greased 9-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Securely wrap foil around pan. In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar and 12-14 crushed butterscotch hard candies; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of prepared pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, whisk the milks and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in pudding and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Place springform pan into a large baking pan; add 1 in. of hot water to larger pan.
Bake at 325° for 65-75 minutes or until center is almost set and top appears dull. Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Garnish with whipped cream , butterscotch or caramel sauce and butterscotch candies if desired. Makes 12 servings.
Enjoy!
