Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
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.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
Add minced garlic and shallots to the wok, stirring frequently until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
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).
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.
Add the softened rice noodles to the wok, followed by the prepared Phad Thai sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly.
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.
Transfer the Phad Thai to a serving plate. Garnish with crushed peanuts and a sprinkle of red chili flakes (if desired).
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
