Ingredients

• 8 ounces Rice noodles
• 0.25 cup Tamari sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Tamarind paste
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 4 Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts, chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 4 Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the rice noodles in hot water according to package instructions until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari sauce, fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and lime juice to make the sauce. Adjust taste if necessary.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Push the garlic to the side and crack the eggs into the skillet. Stir to scramble, cooking for another 1 minute until fully set.

Step 6

Add the soaked noodles to the skillet, along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything well to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the bean sprouts and green onions, tossing everything together until heated through.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Step 9

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the pad thai.
