Pad Thai
The recipe Pad Thai is ready in around 45 minutes and is definitely Head to the store and pick up soy sauce, water, garlic cloves, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the oil you could follow this main course with the Vegan Mango Banana Bread as a dessert. It works well as a rather inexpensive main course.

Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Thai. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. One wine you could try is Fram Wines Chenin Blanc. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 32 dollars.

The very special area that these grapes come from is actually closer to Clanwilliam than to Citrusdal, but the part about the mountain is very true. Situated in deep red sandy soils, on a farm that overlooks the crayfish mecca of Lambertsbay on the one side, and the Olifantsriver and Bulshoek dam on the other side. The tight racy acidity is the standout characteristic of Chenin blanc from this area, combine that with ripeness that adds immense complexity and you know that there is a whole lot of loving here.
