Thai Pad Thai

This classic Thai dish features stir-fried rice noodles with shrimp, tofu, and a tangy sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Soak the rice noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, tamarind paste, sugar, and chili flakes to make the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp and tofu, and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and green onions, and cook for 1 minute.
Push the garlic and green onions to one side of the pan, and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until cooked, then mix them with the garlic and green onions.
Add the soaked rice noodles and sauce to the pan, and toss everything together until well coated.
Add the cooked shrimp and tofu back to the pan, along with the bean sprouts. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is heated through.
Serve the Pad Thai hot, garnished with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.
