Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice noodles
- 300 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 50 grams Roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
- 1.5 tablespoons Palm sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20-30 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, tamarind paste, palm sugar, soy sauce, red chili flakes, and water to create the Pad Thai sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok. Crack the eggs directly into the wok and scramble them quickly using a spatula. Push the eggs to one side of the wok.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the minced garlic to the other side of the wok. Stir-fry the garlic for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the wok along with the prepared Pad Thai sauce. Toss everything together to evenly coat the noodles in the sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp to the wok, along with the bean sprouts and sliced green onions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
Transfer the Pad Thai to serving plates. Garnish with chopped peanuts and lime wedges on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Pad Thai Shrimp Stir Fried Thai Noodles!
