Steps:
- Place noodles in a bowl and cover with very hot tap water. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the lime juice, brown sugar, ground chilies, paprika, Thai chili sauce and soy sauce; reserve. Drain noodles well, rinse with cold water and set aside.

Return to medium-high heat and add egg, stirring quickly to set it and scramble it slightly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- To the wok add red onion, bok choy, red bell pepper, Napa cabbage and scallions, tossing for 1 to 2 minutes. Add noodles and toss until coated with oil and almost softened. Add tofu, wrinkled beans and pad Thai sauce; toss until thoroughly heated.

- In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, red pepper, coconut milk, and if desired, the tamarind concentrate, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Heat the sesame and peanut oils in a wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Just before the oil is smoking, add the shrimp and cook until pink, stirring constantly. Add the tofu, mushrooms, bean sprouts, carrots, red bell pepper, garlic, and reserved noodles, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and toss until combined. Cook until the mixture is steaming and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the peanuts and green onions and cook an additional 30 seconds.

Steps:
- Soak the rice stick noodles in tepid water for about 15 minutes. Remove them to a cutting board and cut into 4-inch pieces then place in a strainer to let all water drain off, and set aside.
- Coat the bottom of an omelette pan with a small amount of oil and pour off excess. Beat the eggs together and add to pan forming a thin layer, and cook as you would a thin omelette. Remove from heat and chop cooked egg roughly and set aside, keeping warm until ready to serve.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a wok or large skillet and add garlic, onion, and red and green peppers, and cook for 2 minutes. One at a time, add the ground peanut, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper powder, stirring the mixture the entire time. (Note: chicken, shrimp, or tofu can be added to this dish at the saute stage.) Add the noodles and be sure to stir! The noodles tend to burn if not continuously stirred. Check to see if the taste of the dish is suitable to you, if not, then add in either fish sauce or soy sauce (both salty), or sugar (sweet). (Here is where a matter of preference comes into play.) To serve, place the noodle mixture on a plate, top with cooked egg and garnish with bean sprouts, peanuts and cilantro.
Tips:
- To make the rice noodles soft and chewy, soak them in warm water for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or wok to cook the vegetables and noodles. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the food cooks evenly.
- Use high heat to cook the vegetables and noodles. This will help to create a slightly charred flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
- Add the sauce to the noodles and vegetables and stir to coat. Make sure the sauce is evenly distributed.
- Serve the pad thai immediately, garnished with crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, and lime wedges.
