Lard Na Noodles Recipe – A beloved street food dish from Thailand!
This recipe is for 2 big servings.
Ingredients:
½ Package of fresh uncut noodles –900g in a pack of fresh noodles, we will use only 450g
1 ½ Tbsp. of dark soy sauce
4 Tbsp. of cooking oil- 1 tbsp for cooking noodles, 3 tbsp for cooking Lard Na sauce.
4 Cloves of peeled garlic, crushed – 1 clove for cooking fresh noodles, 3 cloves for cooking Lard Na sauce.
½ Sweet medium cooking onion – sliced
6 Chicken thighs – cut into thin slices about 1 ½ inch long and 1/4 inch thick. You can use pork tenderloin or shrimps for this recipe.
3 Tbsp. of bean sauce or whole bean sauce. I use Koon Chum Product from Hong Kong.
454g of young Gai Lan vegetable, washed and cut about 2 inches long including leaves. Make sure you separated Gai Lan stems and the leaves when cut. Because Gai Lan stem use more time to cook than leaves.
½ Crushed palm sugar, about 1½ tbsp
1 Tbsp of brown sugar
½ Tsp of sea salt
2 Tbsp of Thai fish sauce
Preparing Fresh Noodles:
We will use only a half package of fresh noodles. Remove plastic wrap from fresh noodles and place uncut fresh noodles in a bowl and microwave for 1 ½ – 2 minutes to soften up the noodles, so it will be easy to peel. Remove from microwave and cut noodles (width wise) into one inch strips, see video. Then peel noodles apart sheet by sheet, see video. Place peeled noodles in a large bowl and added 1 ½ tbsp. of dark soy sauce, mixed soy sauce and mix noodles well, making sure that the dark soy sauce covers all the fresh noodles, set aside.
Corn Starch and water (for the sauce)
2 Tbsp. of corn starch
4 Cups of cold boiled water
In a large bowl, add 4 cups of water and add potato starch, mixed well. Set aside.
Cooking Noodles:
Turn medium heat on your stove, place large size wok or frying pan on your stove, and add 1 tbsp of cooking oil and 1 clove of crushed garlic. Cook garlic about ½ minute or until the garlic slightly turns yellow, add fresh noodles, and cook noodles about 2-4 minutes or until noodles are softened. Transfer cooked noodles to a big bowl, set aside.
To Cook Lard Naa Sauce:
Turn medium high heat on your stove, place large size wok or frying pan on your stove, and add 2 tbsp of cooking oil to the pan. Let the oil heat up a bit and add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and chopped onion. Stir, letting the garlic and onion cook about 1-2 minutes or until the garlic slightly turns yellow and onion is softened.
Then add chicken thighs, stir, and add 3 tbsp of bean sauce. Stir well make sure bean sauce mixes well with the chicken, cover it and let it cook for 2 minutes with medium heat.
Then add cornstarch mixed with water, but before you add cornstarch make sure you stir it well with your hand. Cornstarch has tendency to sink on the bottom of the bowl. Now add ½ palm sugar, stir, cover it and let it cook for 2 minutes.
If the Lard Na sauce is too thick, you can add ½ cup of water and stir it very well, add brown sugar, ½ tsp of sea salt and 2 tbsp. of fish sauce. Then add Gai Lan stems, stir it, turn heat down to medium low, cover it and let it cook for 1 minute. Add Gai Lan leaves, mix well, then turn the heat off. Don’t over cook your Gai Lan Leaves.
