Satisfy your cravings with this spicy vegetarian pad thai recipe, easily customizable with tofu, chicken, shrimp, or pork.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (8 ounce) package pad thai rice noodles
  • 0.25 cup tamarind paste
  • 0.33333334326744 cup boiling water
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste (sambal oelek)
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.5 pound firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups bean sprouts
  • 0.5 cup coarsely ground peanuts
  • 5 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with very hot tap water. Allow the noodles to soak for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • Mix tamarind paste and boiling water until well combined. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibers or seeds. Combine the strained tamarind paste with ketchup, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and chili paste in a bowl.
  • In a wok over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil until shimmering. Sauté garlic and tofu until tofu edges turn brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, scramble for 30 seconds, then mix in noodles, tamarind mixture, and bean sprouts. Stir until noodles are heated through and coated in sauce, for about 5 minutes. Finish with peanuts and green onions.
