The 514 from Simply Asia Recipe

The 514 is a noodle dish from a Thai restaurant Simply Asia. The dish is called Ba-Mee Prik Phao which is roasted chilli paste and cashew nut noodle.

For One Serving:
1 packet of 2 minute noodle soaked in boiling water (but dont let it soak for too long it must still be a little bit firm). I use the Alhami brand.
1 small chicken fillet thinly sliced
About a quarter of an onion and green/red pepper (or a little bit of both if you like) sliced
Sliced springonion
A few roasted cashews
1 heaped dessert spoon of roasted chilli paste.
I couldn't find roasted chilli paste where I live so I made my own. Here's the link http://www.food.com/recipe/thai-roasted-chili-paste-nahm-prik-pao-469694
I substituted the shallots for red onion, the whole dried chillies for a tablespoon of crushed dried chillies and the tamarind juice for one tablespoon tamarind paste only because i couldn't find these ingredients here.
1 tablespoon of crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon red chilli paste or crushed dried chllies
1 tablespoon Suree pad thai sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Method:
1. Heat a wok with some vegetable oil. Add your garlic and red chilli paste or crushed dried chillies and fry for a couple of seconds.
2. Add your chicken and stir fry till cooked through.
3. Add your sliced onion and greenpepper and stir fry for about a minute.
4. Add your roasted chilli paste, pad thai sauce and soy sauce. Make sure your roasted chili paste is stirred through your chicken and veg properly without any lumps since its a thick paste.
5. Stir through your noodles then lastly add your springonion and cashews.
6. Serve and enjoy! :)

  1. My cousin tried this recipe with a Chili Paste in Soy Bean Oil made by Dee Thai instead of the roasted chili paste. She bought it at a China shop near N1 City. She says it also tastes nice....I must still try it out.... :)
