Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces pad thai noodles (flat rice noodles)
3/4 cup tamarind juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup chopped Thai palm sugar
6 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1/2 cup safflower oil
3 shallots, thinly sliced
5 scallions, cut lengthwise into 2-inch pieces, bulbs halved lengthwise
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces fried tofu, thinly sliced
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Lime wedges
Cilantro sprigs
Sriracha
Bean sprouts
Roasted unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • Soak noodles in warm water for 30 minutes. Drain in a colander and cover with damp paper towels until ready to use.
  • In a small saucepan, combine tamarind juice, soy sauce, palm sugar, fish sauce, and Sriracha. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and remove from heat.
  • Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, carefully add half the shallots and fry, stirring frequently, until shallots are golden brown. Transfer shallots to paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Raise heat to high and add remaining shallots, scallions, and shrimp. Cook, stirring constantly, just until shrimp are opaque and firm to the touch, 2 minutes. Remove to a plate, reserving oil in wok.
  • Add tofu to wok and cook to heat through, 1 minute, and transfer to plate with shrimp.
  • Add eggs to wok and cook, stirring constantly, just until eggs are set but still wet, 1 minute, and transfer to plate with shrimp and tofu.
  • Add sauce to wok and bring to a boil. Stir in noodles and cook until noodles are hot, 2 minutes. Return shrimp, tofu, and eggs to wok and stir to combine. Serve immediately with garnishes.

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but I really liked it in this pad thai. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I added some chopped peanuts to my pad thai and it was delicious! It gave the dish a nice crunchy texture.

I didn't have any rice noodles, so I used regular spaghetti noodles. It turned out fine, but the rice noodles would have been better.

I had some trouble finding tamarind paste, but I was able to find it at an Asian grocery store. It's a key ingredient in this recipe, so don't skip it!

This pad thai was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili paste if you don't like spicy food.

I love that this pad thai is made with tofu. It's a great way to get some extra protein into your diet. I also like that the sauce is not too spicy. It's perfect for people who don't like spicy food.

I made this pad thai for my friends and they all loved it! It was easy to make and the instructions were clear. The only thing I changed was that I used chicken instead of shrimp. It turned out great!

This pad thai was amazing! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.
