Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) package rice noodles (the wider ones, about the width of fettucine noodles)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lbs fresh shrimp, shelled and deveined
4 eggs, beaten
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) package fried tofu, sliced thin
1/4 cup chopped preserved white radish, rinsed to remove excess saltiness (optional)
1 lb bean sprouts
10 green onions, cut 2-inch long
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped fine (or use food processor)
2 teaspoons chili flakes (to taste)
6 lemon wedges
8 tablespoons tamarind juice (or substitute vinegar)
6 tablespoons fish sauce
8 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

Steps:

  • Soak the rice noodles in hot water to cover, for at least 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. Prepare all the remaining ingredients to be ready to cook.
  • Make the sauce - combine the tamarind juice (or vinegar), fish sauce,brown sugar, and paprika in a small saucepan. Stir and heat over medium heat until it starts to boil, then lower the heat and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. Taste for the proper balance of sweet/sour/salty, and adjust if necessary. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in large wok or non-stick skillet. Add eggs and scramble them. Remove eggs and set them aside when just done.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in the wok or skillet and saute shrimp with 2 tbsp of the sauce. Remove and set aside as soon as the shrimp are pink (about 2 minutes).
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in the wok or skillet and saute onion and garlic, adding about 2 tbsp sauce. Add noodles, stir well, adding more sauce to keep the noodles moist. If noodles become too dry, sprinkle with some water. Remove noodles and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in the wok or skillet and saute fried tofu, preserved white radish, and 1 tsp chile flakes (or to taste). Add remaining sauce. Return noodles to pan with tofu mixture. Taste again, and adjust. Add cooked shrimp, bean sprouts, green onion, and scrambled egg. Lift and turn the noodles a few times to mix.
  • Serve on the plate with a lemon wedge, and top with chopped peanuts, and a few chile flakes.

I'm not a fan of Pad Thai, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce is delicious and the noodles are so flavorful.

The Pad Thai was good, but it was missing something. I think I'll try adding some more vegetables next time.

This recipe was a disaster. The Pad Thai was bland and the noodles were mushy.

The Pad Thai was good, but I think I would have liked it better with a different type of noodle.

I've tried many Pad Thai recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is amazing.
