1. Thai Peanut Sauce Preparation: Place the first 12 ingredients (from the peanuts to the lime zest), in a blender. Blend until sauce is smooth. If you prefer a runnier peanut sauce, add a little more water. Do a taste test for salt and spice, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough, and more chili sauce &/or red pepper flakes, if not spicy enough. If too salty, add another squeeze of fresh limejuice. 2. Beef Pad Thai Preparation: Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, and cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap to keep warm. 3. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic - cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the sliced onions & mushrooms, stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the beef and stir-fry another 2 minutes. Next, add the teriyaki sauce & a 1/2 cup of the Thai peanut sauce, stir all together, and simmer until the beef is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. 4. Transfer the noodles to the beef mixture & toss to combine. Serve on individual plates topped with the peanuts and scallions. The leftover peanut sauce will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 3 months; thaw completely in the refrigerator or microwave for about 3 minutes on LOW before using. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
