Steps:
- Add coconut sugar to warm water and mix to dissolve. Then add tamarind (either puree, paste, or concentrate). Stir to dissolve, then add fish sauce. I used 2 tsp, but if you want it less salty start with 1 tsp. Taste and adjust if needed.
- If using dried rice stick noodles, soak in room temperature water according to package directions. If you are using fresh noodles then portion out 4 oz from the bag.
- Use extra firm tofu, remove from packaging, and place between paper towels or a kitchen towel to drain out the water. Leave wrapped on the plate for 20 minutes. Use 1/4 of the block of tofu and slice into small cubes.
- To fry the tofu, use a non-stick skillet and cover the bottom with oil. Fry each side until golden, remove to drain on a paper towel and season with salt.
- Pad Thai is best served immediately after cooking. You can prep all the ingredients up until now, then start cooking once you are ready to eat. Active cooking time is about 5 minutes.
- Heat wok over medium heat with a little oil, add shrimp and cook until pink, remove shrimp and set aside.
- Turn heat up to medium high. Add remaining oil, minced garlic, noodles, Pad Thai sauce, and move everything around quickly to incorporate. (If you are using Tamarind puree/paste, the noodles will look dark. The taste will still be good.)
- At this point you want to taste the noodles and see if they are still hard. If so add a splash of water to help soften them.
- Push noodles to the side and add in the egg. Break the yolk and allow it to set then place noodles on top to cook the egg. Place the shrimp, tofu, half of the bean sprouts, half of the green onions, and half of the crushed peanuts into the skillet. Use tongs and toss with the noodles. Go ahead and taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Plate and serve with remaining bean sprouts, green onions, peanuts, and a slice of lime. In Thailand they serve Pad Thai with extra condiments of dried chili flakes, granulated sugar, and fish sauce, but this is optional.

THE BEST SHRIMP PAD THAI
Just like your favorite Thai takeout-but better. In Thailand, you'll find street vendors whipping up this noodle dish to order from scratch. There are numerous variations of the ingredients used to achieve the perfect sweet, sour and umami noodle dish. We've chosen to use sriracha in our version for its warming heat and sweetness. It also adds a nice color. In quick-cooking stir-fry dishes, it's imperative to have all your ingredients prepped and ready-to-go before you start cooking.

Steps:
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions and set aside.
- Stir together the fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind concentrate, lime juice and sriracha in a small bowl until well combined.
- 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 shrimp and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Push to the side with the tofu, allowing the excess oil to drip down into the middle of the skillet. Add 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 shrimp. Add the peppers to the skillet and cook just to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the noodles, scallions, bean sprouts and sauce to the skillet. Incorporate the tofu, shrimp and egg into the ingredients and stir fry, coating the ingredients with the sauce and simmering to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and top with chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Steps:
- Soak the noodles in warm water for about 20 mins until softened but with plenty of bite, then drain. Meanwhile, mix together the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar and lime juice until the sugar dissolves. Season with a pinch of chilli powder if you like it spicy. Can be made up to two weeks ahead and kept in the fridge. If you make pad Thai regularly, double the quantity and keep half.
- Heat half the oil in a frying pan and cook the tofu on each side until golden. Add the prawns and fry until they just start to turn pink. Tip the noodles into the pan and drizzle over the tamarind mixture with about 5 tbsp of water. Stir everything together and cook over a high heat for 3 mins until the noodles are just cooked. Add a splash more water if needed.
- When the sauce has reduced, scatter over the beansprouts and fold them into the noodles. Push everything to one side of the pan, then pour in the rest of the oil on the empty side and crack in the eggs. Fry for 2 mins until the white is just set and beginning to crisp around the edges, then roughly scramble the runny yolks in with the whites. When the eggs have just set, combine with the noodles.
- Scatter over half of the peanuts, half the spring onion and all the turnip, and quickly toss together. Divide between two plates with the remaining peanuts, spring onion, chilli powder, lime wedges and soy sauce on the side, to garnish as preferred.

PAD THAI
Pad Thai is essentially a stir-fry and requires little more than chopping and stirring. It comes together in less than a half-hour. Some ingredients in this recipe may be unfamiliar. The first are the noodles themselves: rice stick noodles, which are pale, translucent, flat and range from very thin to more than a quarter-inch wide. Unlike semolina pasta, rice stick noodles don't need to be boiled; instead, you soak them in hot water until they're tender. Meanwhile, make a sauce from tamarind paste, now easily found in larger supermarkets or online. The paste, made from the pulp of the tamarind pod, is very sour, but more complex than citrus. It can vary widely in its potency, so be sure to taste as you go. Fish sauce (nam pla) is another important ingredient. Made from fermented anchovies (and much like the garum of ancient Rome), it has an unappealing smell and a fabulous taste. Honey and rice vinegar round things out.

Steps:
- Put noodles in a large bowl and add boiling water to cover. Let sit until noodles are just tender; check every 5 minutes or so to make sure they do not get too soft. Drain, drizzle with one tablespoon peanut oil to keep from sticking and set aside. Meanwhile, put 1 tablespoon tamarind paste, fish sauce, honey and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and bring just to a simmer. Taste and add more tamarind paste if desired. It should be piquant, but not unpleasantly sour. Stir in red pepper flakes and set aside.
- Put remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when oil shimmers, add scallions and garlic and cook for about a minute. Add eggs to pan; once they begin to set, scramble them until just done. Add cabbage and bean sprouts and continue to cook until cabbage begins to wilt, then add shrimp or tofu (or both).
- When shrimp begin to turn pink and tofu begins to brown, add drained noodles to pan along with sauce. Toss everything together to coat with tamarind sauce and combine well. When noodles are warmed through, serve, sprinkling each dish with peanuts and garnishing with cilantro and lime wedges.

PAD THAI WITH SHRIMP AND TOFU
After trying a lot of authentic Pad Thai recipes, and making many adjustments, I find this to come closet to the restaurant flavors I like. I personally prefer Pad Thai that's more moist and flavorful than the drier style ones.
