Phad Thai (pad Thai Noodles)
Phad Thai, also known as Pad Thai, is a popular stir-fried noodle dish from Thailand. It is a perfect combination of sweet, sour, and salty flavors, with a hint of spiciness.
Ingredients
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 2 tbsp tamarind paste
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 3 tbsp palm sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup firm tofu, cubed
- 1/2 cup dried shrimp
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
- 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
- Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 8-10 minutes until they are soft but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Set aside.
