The 508 from Simply Asia Recipe

The 508 is a noodle dish from a Thai Restaurant called Simply Asia called Pasta Khi-Mao ( linguine with basil). This is one of my favourite noodle dishes.

For One Serving:
100g linguine (if i dont have liguine I use the thin spaghetti)
1 small chicken fillet sliced thinly
Sliced onion, but not too thin, about 1cm thick. I use about a quarter of an onion.
Sliced green pepper, i also use about a quarter of a big green pepper
Green beans sliced length ways
A few bamboo shoots from the tin (optional)
5 basil leave finely chopped
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed dry chilies or red chili paste ( i use Aminas Red Chili Paste)
1 tablespoon Suree Pad Thai sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce

Method:
1. Cook your pasta till al dente, it mustn't be too soft. Keep a bit of the pasta water.
2. Heat your wok and add some vegetable oil. Add your crushed garlic and stir fry for a few seconds then add your crushed dry chilis or red chili paste. Stir to mix then add your chicken. Don't let the garlic burn!
3. When your chicken is cooked through add your onions and stir fry the onions till it becomes a bit soft and see through.
4. Add the green pepper, the green beans and the bamboo shoots. Stir fry the veg for about a minute. If it becomes a bit dry add a very little of the pasta water to create a little sauce.
5. Add your pad thai sauce and soy sauce then add your pasta. Stir through the pasta then finally add your chopped basil, stir through, then serve. Enjoy! :)
