Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 oz rice noodles (thick like fettuccini noodles)
  • 12 oz tofu, cubed
  • 8 teaspoons corn starch
  • 8 oz peeled, deveined shrimp, diced
  • 3/4 cup tamarind concentrate
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 4 tablespoons shallot, minced
  • 4 tablespoons, garlic minced
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 2 cups green onions, bias-sliced
  • 4 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes cut in wedges
  • red pepper flakes to taste
  • avocado oil for stir frying

Instructions

  1. Soak the rice noodles in boiling water just until al dente, typically 15-20 minutes. Check the progress of your soaking noodles after 10 minutes. Drain the noodles once they achieve al dente.
  2. Stir together the tamarind concentrate, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Set aside.
  3. Toss the tofu with the cornstarch. Set aside.
  4. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Once heated add just enough oil to create a small pool of oil in the bottom of the wok. Drag a heat-resistant spatula through the oil and up the sides of the wok, to prevent any ingredients from sticking.
  5. Add the tofu to the oil. Once the tofu has lightly browned, add the shrimp. Stir fry until the shrimp turn light pink.
  6. Add the shallots; stir fry for a minute.
  7. Add the garlic; stir fry just until fragrant.
  8. Push the tofu mixture aside and add more oil if the wok is dry, then add the eggs.
  9. Scramble the eggs; stir them together with the tofu mixture.
  10. Add the pad Thai noodles. Stir fry for a minute to heat the noodles through.
  11. Add the tamarind sauce mixture.
  12. Once the pad Thai is heated through, plate it.
  13. Garnish with the bean sprouts, roasted peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.
  14. If you like things a bit spicy, garnish with the red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • Depending on how large your wok is, you may need to stir fry this dish in batches.
