Does anyone do Thai here? I have an eggplant question.

[EFerrari]

I was wanting to fold in some eggplant instead of chicken to a batch of Pad Thai. Anyone have a suggestion for seasoning? I don't know enough about Thai yet to figure it out, just enough to get into trouble. :)

1. Pad Thai can be pretty much be what you want it to be.

I think that Pad Thai always features beaten eggs and bean sprouts, but eggplant could be a substitute for pork or shrimp (or whatever!;) protein you prefer. The recipe I use seasons with, sugar, fish sauce, ketchup & lime juice. For garnish: red pepper flakes, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro. Good choice of dishes for a hot day. :hi:

Edit for clarity

4. I love all the different textures in Pad Thai and could it it every day.

2. Follow this recipe. Substitute the eggplant for the protien.

Be sure you peel the eggplant. The skin will overwhelm because it will probably fall off and be in the way.
