Ingredients

• 200 grams Rice noodles
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Large eggs
• 150 grams Firm tofu, diced
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 1 cup Crushed peanuts
• 1 Fresh lime, cut into wedges
• 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, and red chili flakes. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Push the garlic to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix them with the garlic.

Step 6

Add the diced tofu to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to lightly brown.

Step 7

Add the drained rice noodles to the pan, followed by the sauce mixture. Toss everything together to evenly coat the noodles with the sauce.

Step 8

Toss in the bean sprouts and sliced green onions, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until heated through but still crisp.

Step 9

Remove the pan from heat and plate the Pad Thai. Garnish generously with crushed peanuts and serve with lime wedges on the side.
