Pad Thai

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and scramble the eggs. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove and set aside.

5. 5

   Add a bit more oil to the pan, then add the drained noodles. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes.

6. 6

   Pour the tamarind sauce mixture over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.

   Add the cooked eggs, shrimp, and bean sprouts to the pan. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
