Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak rice noodles in room-temperature water for 30 minutes until pliable but still firm. Drain.

  2. 2

    Mix fish sauce, tamarind paste, and palm sugar in a small bowl. Taste — it should be tangy, salty, and slightly sweet.

  3. 3

    Cube tofu and pan-fry in oil over medium-high heat until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat a wok on high until smoking. Add oil, then shrimp. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Push to the side.

  5. 5

    Crack eggs into the wok. Scramble briefly, then fold in with the shrimp.

  6. 6

    Add drained noodles and sauce. Toss constantly for 2–3 minutes until noodles absorb the sauce and char slightly.

  7. 7

    Add tofu and bean sprouts. Toss 30 seconds more. Serve topped with peanuts, sliced green onions, and a lime wedge.
