Some easy yet tasty Thai & Japanese recipes?

Thai %26amp; Japanese have got to be my FAVORITE foods hands down. Just can't seem to choose between the two. Anybody have any good recipes? My favorite Thai dish is Pad Thai. I have a few others but that's up there. My husbands is anything with Peanut Sauce. Japanese I just can't seem to put a finger on anything that is my favorite because I love it all so much!Some easy yet tasty Thai %26amp; Japanese recipes?
If you've got an Asian market near you, you can buy dried noodles, and ready-made Pad Thai sauce, as well as others.



Then you just need some chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts, ground peanuts (also at the Asian market, or just use a blender) and a lime.



2 Japanese dishes that are easy to make are:

Oyako Donburi (chicken %26amp; egg over rice) and Yakisoba.



The donburi is made in single serving sizes. For each person, you'll need a serving of rice, a chicken breast, couple of eggs, half an onion, some soy sauce, and some mirin (a type of Japanese cooking wine - available at the Asian market or in the Ethnic Food aisle of your supermarket.)



Start the rice in the rice cooker.

Slice up your onion, and chicken breast.

In a pan, start cooking the saute'ing the onion until a bit soft, then cook the chicken. When both are finished put them in the pan with a good splash of the mirin and soy sauce. Break the eggs into a small dish and stir well. Pour the eggs over the chicken and onion mixture, and stir slightly so the eggs coat everything as they cook.



Put rice into a large bowl, and top with the chicken/egg mixture.





For Yakisoba, I rely on the Asian market. You can get a bag of yakisoba noodles with sauce packets from the refrigerator section or just pick out some nice noodles and get a bottle of sauce from the sauce aisle. You'll also need 1 large onion, 1 head of napa cabbage, 1 pound of ground pork.



Slice the onion and napa into bite sized pieces.



If you bought dried noodles, cook them according to the package, then drain and set aside.



In a very large pan, cook the pork until it's just finished, remove and set aside. Now add the chopped veggies and maybe a bit of oil. When they're soft, add the pork back in.



Add the noodles to the top of the mixture, and pour in about 1/2 cup of water. Cover the pan, and let the noodles steam for a few minutes so they loosen up and become a bit softer.



Remove the lid, and add the yakisoba sauce (either the packets, or use about 1/3 of the bottle.) Start stirring so everything gets coated. Keep cooking until most of the liquid has cooked off. The noodles and everything should be well coated. Do not add too much sauce. It should look like chow mein, sort of.

I love pad thai too!



If you have an Asian supermarket nearby, you can buy the sauce premade. You'll have to read the bottles carefully though; it's easy to overlook.



Once you've obtained your treasure, boil up some noodles, throw everything in a frying pan (noodles, veggies, meat? eggs...) and stir fry with the sauce!



Plate and throw on some Sriracha sauce (or your chili sauce of choice) and peanuts and you're ready to go!



Om nom nom! :)
Some easy Thai dish like Pad Thai you can find good recipe on line .I use an equal amount of palm Sugar fishh sauce and tamarind juicesubstitutee with vinegar). And buy the dry rice noodles in Asian grocery or even Smiths have it. I personally prefer the Mcdang.com(Traditional Thai)BangBangkok recipe.
