• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 3 whole Green onions
• 1 whole Red chili pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 30 minutes or until they are pliable, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, fish sauce, coconut aminos, and the juice of one lime to create the pad thai sauce. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 7

Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them, cooking through but still soft.

Add the soaked noodles, bean sprouts, and fried tofu to the pan, pouring the pad thai sauce over the top. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce.
