Cách làm

1. 1

   Make tamarind paste by mixing 1/4 cup of wet tamarind with 1/2 cup of hot water. Mash between your fingers until the tamarind forms a paste and then strain to get all seeds and veins out.

2. 2

   Mix the tamarind paste with the other sauce ingredients and heat over medium heat until everything is dissolved.

3. 3

   Prepare your pad Thai sauce and all other ingredients. Once you start cooking, you won't have time to wash, chop, or mix anything.

4. 4

   Heat a pot of water on medium heat until small bubbles appear on the bottom. Blanch the rice noodles in this water for 6 minutes.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, heat a wok to medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and wait until it's hot. Then add the garlic, shallots, and salted radish and saute until garlic is golden brown.

6. 6

   Add the fried tofu and shrimp and saute until they are cooked through. By the time they're done, your rice noodles should also be done.

7. 7

   Drain the rice noodles and immediately put into the wok. Add the pad Thai sauce and shrimp paste in soya bean oil and stir to incorporate.

8. 8

   Move everything to the side of the wok and scramble an egg on the other side. Once it's done, incorporate it with the noodles.

9. 9

   Add the bean sprouts, garlic chives, and peanuts. Stir fry for just a few seconds more until the chives are barely wilted. Take off the heat immediately.

10. 10

    Serve with lime slices, roasted chili flakes, and white sugar on the side. Enjoy!
