Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces rice-stick noodles
1/4 cup tomato-based chili sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
3 cups bean sprouts, plus more for garnish
8 scallions, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Bean sprouts
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; remove from heat. Stir in noodles; let soak until softened (but still undercooked), 3 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water until cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and anchovy paste. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp; cook, tossing often, until just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate.
  • Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil along with the noodles and chili-sauce mixture; cook, tossing, until combined, about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts, scallions, and shrimp. Pour in egg; toss until noodles are coated and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve, topped with garnishes, if desired.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touch by using different vegetables and sauces.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pad thai turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much rice noodles.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.
