Ham Pad Thai

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound rice sticks
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Pinch of minced ginger
  • 1/2 cup finely julienned yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup finely julienned carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely julienned zucchini
  • 1/2 cup finely julienned yellow squash
  • 1/2 cup finely julienned green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely julienned red bell pepper
  • 1/2 pound Dietz & Watson® Honey Cured Dinner Ham or Dietz & Watson® Chef Carved Ham, sliced into 1-inch squares
  • 1/4 cup oyster soy sauce
  • 3-4 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce (depending on your taste)
  • Salt and Freshly ground white pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook the rice sticks according to the instructions on the package, just until al dente.  Drain and reserve.

Heat the oil in a wok over high heat.  Toss in the garlic and ginger and sauté until golden.

Add the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, until al dente.

Stir in the ham, oyster soy sauce, rice sticks and sriracha, tossing to coat.  If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of chicken stock.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

Chef’s Note:  This is a great way to use up ham left over from the holidays, and certainly more interesting than the typical ham sandwich!
