My lovely foodies, this is CiCi. Today, we are going to make Pad Thai. Pad Thai is a
classic Thai noodle dish that you can find everywhere in Taiwan. It is also so popular
that you can find it in any Thai restaurant here in the U.S. Today, I want to show you
how you can easily make it at home. First, we are going to rehydrate the dry noodles
Drain the water and set aside. Cut the lime into wedges, but without cutting the core.
Roughly chop the nuts, dried shrimp, shallots, and garlic.
We are going to cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces. Cut the chives into 2-inch pieces.
To make the sauce, in a bowl, add in hot water and palm sugar. Stir and dissolve it.
Also add in the tamarind paste and fish sauce. In a wok over medium-high heat,
add 1 tablespoon of extra light olive oil. Place in the shrimp. Remove and set aside.
In the same wok, over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of extra light olive oil.
Transfer in the sweet preserved daikon radish, dried shrimp, shallots, garlic, and tofu.
Stir-fry until aromatic for about 2 minutes. Turn to high heat. Transfer in the noodles
and sauce. Stir-fry until the noodles have absorbed all the sauce.
Push the noodles to the side. Add 1 tablespoon of extra light olive oil.
Place in the eggs. Pan-fry the eggs for about a minute. Mix the noodles and eggs together.
Return the shrimp. Place in the chives and about 1 1⁄2 cups of bean sprouts.
Mix everything together.
