INGREDIENTS: « teaspoon ground dried chili pepper « 1 egg « 4 teaspoons fish sauce « 3 cloves minced garlic « ground pepper « white pepper « lime
« 2 tablespoons sugar « 2 tablespoons tamarind paste « package Thai rice noodles « 1/3 cup extra firm tofu « 2 tablespoons vegetable oil « 1 minced shallot « 1/2-1/4 lb shrimp « Chopped peanuts
DIRECTIONS: Start with soaking the dry noodles in lukewarm or room temperature water while preparing the other ingredients. Getting the noodles just right is the trickiest part of making Pad Thai. By the time you are ready to put ingredients in the pan, the noodles should be flexible but not mushy. Julienne tofu and cut into 1-inch long matchsticks. When cut, the super firm tofu/pressed tofu should have a mozzarella cheese consistency. You can fry the tofu separately until golden brown and hard, or you can fry with other ingredients below. Cut the Chinese chives into 1 inch long pieces. Set aside a few fresh chives for a garnish. Mince shallot and garlic together. Use a wok. If you do not have a wok, any big pot will do. Heat it up on high heat and pour oil in the wok. Add shallot, garlic and tofu and stir them until they start to brown. The noodles should be flexible but not expanded at this point. Drain the noodles and add to the wok. Stir quickly to keep things from sticking. Add tamarind, sugar, fish sauce and chili pepper. Stir. The heat should remain high. Make room for the egg by pushing all noodles to the side of the wok. Crack the egg onto the wok and scramble it until it is almost all cooked. Fold the egg into the noodles. The noodles should be soft and chewy. Pull a strand out and taste. If the noodles are too hard (not cooked), add a little bit of water. When you get the right taste, add shrimp and stir. Sprinkle white pepper around. The noodles should be soft, dry and very tangled. Pour onto the serving plate and sprinkle with ground pepper and peanuts. Serve hot with a wedge of lime on the side. As always, in Thailand, condiments such as sugar, chili pepper, vinegar and fish sauce are available at your table for your personal taste. Some people add more chili pepper or sugar at the table.> gohomephilly.com
