Steps:
- For the sauce:.
- Heat a deep frying pan or small pot over medium low heat adding all ingredients except the chili powder.
- Cook the sauce until the palm sugar and regular white granulated sugar have dissolved. Taste the sauce at this point and add a little more sugar if too sour. The end result should be a well balance sweet/sour flavor.
- To make it more spicy, add in the optional Thai chili flakes or chili powder to taste.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool and store in a jar until needed for the main dish.
- For the Pad Thai:.
- Note: Soak the dried or fresh rice noodles in cold water for up to a day in advance. If you boil a pot of water while cooking the Pad Thai, you can quickly dip the noodles you're going to use with a small strainer and watch them "melt" and become translucent. This only takes a few seconds; quickly drain and throw them in the wok when you get to that step.
- Heat up a wok and add oil. When the oil is near its smoke point, add the minced garlic and do a few quick stirs. Add chicken and shrimp into the wok stirring until half-cooked, then add the tofu pieces (if using). Add the eggs, stirring about to do a scramble of sorts.
- Dip, drain and stir in the noodles at this point. Add enough of the Pad Thai sauce to your taste. add the bean sprouts and chives shortly before removing from heat.
- Serve with some peanuts sprinkled on top, fresh bean sprouts and lime wedges. Garnish with cilantro.
PAD THAI WITH CHICKEN AND SHRIMP
PLEASE NOTE: This calls for one 1/2 pound package of noodles. Not one pound. Not a pound and a half. I'm not sure how else to write it so that it's clearer. I think this is a great Pad Thai recipe - quick and easy. It's certainly a favourite in our house. I would suggest making a double batch of the sauce, so the dish is even more flavorful. For those with milder tastes, cut back on the red pepper flakes. The recipe as is has quite a bite to it. This isn't a "authentic" Pad Thai recipe, so if that's what you are looking for, then this may not be it.

- For the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
- For the sauce: Stir together the fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind, sriracha and lime juice in a small bowl until well combined.
- For the stir fry: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Push the tofu to the side, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the chicken and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is opaque and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Push to the side with the tofu, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add the beaten egg to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and chopping to break up, until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Push the egg to the side with the tofu and chicken. Add the peppers to the skillet and cook just to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the noodles, bean sprouts, scallions and sauce to the skillet. Combine the tofu, chicken and egg into the ingredients and stir fry, coating the ingredients with the sauce, and simmer to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.

SPICY THAI BASIL CHICKEN (PAD KRAPOW GAI)
My version of this classic Thai dish has spectacular taste even with regular basil instead of Thai or holy basil. The sauce actually acts like a glaze as the chicken mixture cooks over high heat. The recipe works best if you chop or grind your own chicken and have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking.

- Soak the noodles before cooking. This will help them soften and cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok. You need a large cooking surface to accommodate all the ingredients.
- Cook the noodles in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly.

- Use a good quality tamarind paste. This is a key ingredient in pad Thai and it's important to use a good quality paste that has a strong flavor.
- Add the tamarind paste and fish sauce gradually. Start with a small amount and then add more to taste.
- Use fresh vegetables. This will give your pad Thai the best flavor.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking. This will help them retain their crispness.
- Serve pad Thai immediately. It's best when it's fresh.
