🍜Pad Thai - Stir-Fried Rice Noodles 

Pad Thai is the national dish of Thailand and is a beloved street food snack. A combination of tangy tamarind, sweet palm sugar, and fish sauce give it a multi-faceted taste. 

INGREDIENTS 

125 g Pad Thai dried rice sticks (Soaked over night in cold water, or in warm (60C) water for 10 minutes)

Sauce:

• 2 tbsp tamarind paste 

• 3 tbsp palm sugar syrup

• 1.5 tbsp fish sauce

Stir-fry

• 2 – 3 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

• 1/2 shallot, sliced

• 1 egg , lightly whisked

• 1/2 cups of bean shoots 

• 1/2 cup fried tofu, cut into 3cm batons

• 1/4 cup garlic chives , cut into 3cm pieces

• 1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts

• 3 prawns, shelled 

To Serve

• 2 lime wedges 

• ½ tsp Thai chilli flakes 

• ¼ cup beansprouts

METHOD

1. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add in the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the egg. Let it set for a few seconds and then lightly scramble it. Once the egg is cooked, break it up with your spatula. Add in the prawns and tofu, and stir fry them for 2-3 minutes or until the prawns begin to curl up, and are cooked 60% of the way through. 

2. Add in the shallots and stir-fry for 1 minute until they soften. Add in the the soaked rice noodles and mix them around to evenly coat them in the oil. Add in the pad Thai sauce 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix the noodles around until the sauce has been absorbed. Keep adding more sauce until it is seasoned to your preference. 

3. When the noodles have softened, turn off the heat and toss in the garlic chives and the beanshoots. 

4. Garnish the pad Thai with a squeeze of lime juice, the crushed peanuts, and a pinch of the Thai chillis flakes, if desired.
