Wok and roll!

I love the sound of this dish and the name is hilarious, I wish I'd thought of that. Great job. Do you have the full recipe posted on your web site?

Hi Chris - No not yet. Actually I have not perfected it to the publishing point. Most Thai Chicken recipes use too much soy sauce + fish sauce making it a bit too salty. Trying to get this measurement down and will add a page to the web site. Stir fry is pretty easy and just get the ingredients you could find. For me the keys are:

A couple minced Fresh Lemongrass stalks (just use the tender white centers and peel off the thick fiberous leafy stuff.

Thai Peppers as many as you can handle I use 4 or so (it couldn't be Thai w/o it).
Jalepeno (you couldn't say Caramba w/o it).

Bean Sprouts, Water Chestnuts, Snow peas, green onions, garlic, fresh cilantro...

1/4 large red onion minced in soy sauce for chicken marindade. use cubed chicken thighs personally.

Low salt chicken stock and chili paste for noodle sauce ... problem here is most things i've seen use soy and fish sauce too. I do use low salt soy but it can still be salty - this is where I am playing and may cut out some or all of these two.

This is the second time I've made this and this one was really good.. Note Rice noodles are so easy to make much easier than rice. just soak them in hot water for about 10 min, drain then stir fry for 2-3 min. thats it. I'd recommend about 4-6oz of noodles for a 4 person dinner.

Sorry for long response.

Nice looking dish. I have found over the years that many inexpensive soy sauces have tooo much salt and therefore only use Kikkoman. Here is a sauce/marinade recipe that has evolved over the years and makes for a quick cook, rather than blend many items each time. Fish sauce is an option.

Marinade, Soy, Teriyaki, Sauce, #3, Richard Fl


INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Gal. Soy Sauce, Get Kikkoman, others have too much salt
3/8 Cup Sesame Seeds, White
2 1/2 Cups Vinegar, 1/2 Balsamic, 1/2 White
1 1/4 Cups Chili Paste, Red Hot, Korean
1/2 Cup Pepper, Black, Ground
1/2 Cup Sugar, Turbindo
3/8 Cup Garlic, Minced
1/4-1/2 Cup Olive Oil
10 Ozs Sweet/Sour Sauce -OR- Sweet Chilli Sauce, Thai
1/4 Cup Chili Oil
1/4 Cup Sesame Oil
1/4 Cup Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2-3 Tbs Fine Chopped Fresh Ginger, I used microplane
1 Lbs. Garlic Chives or Scallions, Sliced Thinly, add at end of cooking.
1/2 Stick Butter, add at end of cooking (Optional)
1/2 Cup Fish Sauce (optional)




Procedure:
1 Mix all except garlic chives/scallions and butter, if using, in a large heavy pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook. 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add garlic chives/scallions. cool. Keeps a long time in a container in refrigerator. Over a year. Great as a marinade, substitute for worchestire sauce or a dipping sauce.


Yield: 5 Quarts+1 Cup

Recipe Type
Marinade

Cooking Tips
This will wake up your sinuses. For less heat adjust the hot ingredients.

Cool looks like a great Stir fry sauce - funny thing is i used kikkoman's low sodium.. Fish sauce is very salty too. Thing is at our house we go light on salt and so we are a bit sensitive.

I did forget Fresh Ginger in my list of ingredients...

Thanks!!!!!

It is a great sauce for many uses and yes salt is a problem, boiling concentrates the saltiness, but that's the way it is. Great for stir fried fried rice, wonton dipping sauce etc.
