I ran out of tamarind, so I developed this recipe without it, and I was blown away by how good it was.

Description

Pad Thai is just stir-frying the ingredients all together and you’ll have an amazing dinner that will leave your guests wanting more. 

Ingredients

• 5 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried shrimp, soaked (try your best to find this at the Asian market in the refrigerated section)
• 8 oz pad thai rice noodles, soaked 
• 8-10 Large shrimp, peeled and deveined 
• 3 oz marinated tofu, sliced (store-bought) 
• 2 large eggs, beaten 
• chives, 2” pieces 
• bean sprouts 

Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons fish sauce 
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce 
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha 
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar or tamarind concentrate 
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 
• 1 teaspoon onion powder 

To Serve:

• lime juice 
• chopped roasted peanuts 

Instructions

1. Soak rice noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes. Soak dried shrimp in water for 10-15 minutes. 
2. Have everything ready to go before you start cooking! Things need to move quickly so the noodles and shrimp don’t overcook. 
3. Heat large pan on medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add oil, dried shrimp, and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. 
4. Add tofu slices and give it a stir to cook. Add shrimp and combine. Shrimp doesn’t need to be fully cooked at this point because you don’t want to overcook it. Move everything aside. 
5. Add oil in the empty spot. Add beaten eggs. Mix and combine with everything. 
6. Add noodles to the pan. Combine well. Add sauce on top of the noodles and stir or toss until the noodles have absorbed the sauce. Add chives and bean sprouts (reserve some to serve raw) on top and then combine so they cook slightly. Taste and adjust.
7. Serve with raw bean sprouts, lime wedge, and chopped roasted peanuts.
