Pad Thai

🧺 Ingredients

• 200 g flat rice noodles
• 12 shrimp, peeled
• Sauce: 2 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp tamarind paste (or lime + brown sugar), 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 eggs, 2 cups bean sprouts
• Crushed peanuts, lime wedges, chives

👩‍🍳 Steps

1. 1

   Soak noodles in hot tap water for 10 minutes until bendy but not soft.

2. 2

   Sear shrimp in a hot wok 1 minute per side; set aside.

3. 3

   Scramble eggs in the same pan, then add noodles and sauce; toss 2–3 minutes.

4. 4

   Return shrimp, add sprouts, toss 30 seconds — sprouts should stay crunchy.

5. 5

   Plate with peanuts, chives and a lime wedge you actually squeeze.
