Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok, followed by the minced garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the garlic to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble them gently, then mix with the garlic.
Add the soaked rice noodles to the wok and pour the prepared sauce mixture over the noodles. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Return the cooked prawns to the wok, along with the bean sprouts and spring onions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Remove the wok from heat and sprinkle the crushed peanuts and chilli flakes over the Pad Thai.
Serve hot, garnished with coriander leaves (if using) and lime wedges on the side.
