Ingredients

• 200 grams Rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 pieces Shallots, finely sliced
• 2 large Eggs
• 200 grams Shrimp (or chicken or tofu)
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 50 grams Chives or green onions, chopped into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
• 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Palm sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1 tablespoon Crushed peanuts
• 1 piece Lime wedges
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together tamarind paste, fish sauce, and palm sugar to create the Phad Thai sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Adjust sweetness or sourness to taste.

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and shallots to the wok, stirring frequently until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Step 5

Add your choice of protein (shrimp, chicken, or tofu) to the wok. Stir-fry until cooked through (2-3 minutes for shrimp, 4-5 minutes for chicken).

Step 6

Push the protein to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs gently until set, then mix with the protein.

Step 7

Add the softened rice noodles to the wok, followed by the prepared Phad Thai sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 8

Add the bean sprouts and chives (or green onions) to the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly wilted but still crisp.

Step 9

Transfer the Phad Thai to a serving plate. Garnish with crushed peanuts and a sprinkle of red chili flakes (if desired).

Step 10

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
