Steps:

• Make the seasoning sauce:
• In a medium bowl, combine the water, tamarind paste, palm or dark brown sugar, fish sauce, and salt and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Assemble the ingredients for serving:
• Place the bean sprouts, limes, and peanuts each in their own small bowl and arrange near the stove. Place the fish sauce, granulated sugar, and crushed red pepper each in their own small bowl and arrange on the dining table.
• Soften the rice noodles:
• Bring a 5-quart saucepan of water to a full, rolling boil. Remove it from the heat and immediately add the rice noodles, making sure they are fully submerged in the water. Let the noodles soak for exactly 3 minutes (use a timer), occasionally lifting them up and pulling them apart as necessary with tongs or a long fork to keep the noodles separate and help them soften evenly. Drain the noodles in a large colander and rinse them under cold running water. (If the noodles become sticky and clumped together while standing, rinse them briefly under cold water just before cooking, so that they return to their slippery, firm, toss-able state.)
• Stir-fry the pad thai:
• In a small bowl combine the garlic and shallots. Place the shrimp, beaten eggs, bean sprouts, scallion greens, and peanuts each in their own bowl and arrange near the stove. Have ready 1 clean medium bowl for the cooked shrimp and eggs, and arrange a platter for serving near the stove.
• Heat a large wok over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. (If at any point during cooking the oil starts smoking, lower the heat.) When the oil is hot, scatter in the shrimp. Cook undisturbed until the shrimp begin to change color and firm up, about 30 seconds. Toss well then continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink, firm and just cooked through, about 30 seconds longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to the clean bowl.
• Add the eggs and swirl the pan to spread them into a thin layer. Cook the eggs, lifting the sides and tilting the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to pour underneath as you do when making an omelet, until the eggs are mostly set, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and use the slotted spoon to quickly cut the eggs into bite-size pieces then add them to the bowl of shrimp.
• Place the wok over high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the pan. Add the garlic and shallots and stir-fry until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Scatter in the softened rice noodles, and using tongs, evenly spread the noodles out across the pan, like a net. Let them cook undisturbed for 15 seconds then scoop them in toward the center. Toss the noodles gently then spread them out again. Pour about 1/3 of the seasoning sauce around the edges of the pan, and continue stir-frying the noodles in the same manner, spreading them out and letting them cook undisturbed occasionally, until most of the sauce is absorbed, about 30 seconds more.
• Add another third of the sauce and continue to stir-fry in the same manner until most of the sauce is absorbed and the noodles are just tender but not mushy, about 30 seconds. Test a noodle or two: If they are too firm, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of water around the edge of the pan, and continue stir-frying until they are just tender and evenly coated with the sauce.
• Return the shrimp and eggs to the pan, along with any juices collected in the bottom of the bowl, and toss to incorporate them into the noodles. Add the remaining third of the seasoning sauce, along with the bean sprouts, scallion greens, and chopped peanuts, and cook, tossing, until they are mixed in and barely heated, about 30 seconds.
• To serve:
• Quickly transfer the noodles onto the platter, mounding them at one end. Mound the reserved bean sprouts next to the noodles, and arrange the reserved lime wedges next to the bean sprouts. Sprinkle the peanuts on the noodles in a stripe next to the bean sprouts. Serve hot with the small bowls of fish sauce, sugar, and crushed red pepper so that guests can flavor their portions to taste.

Steps:

• Place rice noodles in a large bowl. Cover with very hot tap water, stir and set aside until tender, 20 minutes. Do not over soak. Drain and reserve 1 cup soaking liquid.

• In a large skillet over high heat, warm oil until shimmering. Add shrimp and cook until nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.

Toss everything together to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts, cilantro and sliced limes.

• Heat one tsp oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Add beaten egg and stir fry. Remove scrambled egg from pan and add to noodles.

Steps:

• Prepare the noodles: Place dried noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let soak for 20 to 30 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients, allowing the water to cool, and stirring and separating the noodles occasionally with your hands. When ready, noodles will be white, limp and almost soft to the bite. (They will cook a little more later on.) Pour off all the water, fluff noodles with your hands, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the fish sauce, tamarind and coconut palm sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often, just until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Line up the ingredients in the order they'll be cooked: Place the garlic, shallot, radish and shrimp in a bowl, then line up the tofu, noodles, sauce, eggs, bean sprouts and chives. When ready to cook, place 1 cup of hot tap water near the stove.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a 14-inch wok, a heavy 12-inch skillet or a large Dutch oven medium-high heat until shimmering. (If using a smaller pan, cook in 2 batches.) Add the contents of the garlic bowl and stir-fry over medium heat, adjusting the flame so the ingredients are sizzling but not popping or scorching, until the shrimp are nearly pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tofu and stir-fry to heat through, about 2 minutes.
• Add noodles and raise the heat as high as it goes, tossing and separating them with a wok turner, tongs or both. When noodles are sizzling, add about half the sauce and 1 tablespoon water, and stir-fry, tossing to coat and cook through.
• Taste a noodle for doneness and seasoning. If needed, add more sauce and water, and keep cooking, turning often, until noodles are softened and savory.
• Push noodles to one side of the pan, add enough oil to lightly coat the other side, and add the eggs. Use the spatula to scramble the eggs, stirring and scraping until cooked through and just dry, 1 to 2 minutes, then stir them into the noodles.
• Add the bean sprouts and chives, and stir to combine. Serve immediately, passing the peanuts, chile powder and lime wedges to adjust seasoning to taste.

Steps:

• Start by boiling a large pot of water for the rice noodles. Meanwhile, prep the ingredients. You want everything ready for the stir-fry in an hour and it will take longer than you think!
• Mix the fish sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chili powder, cayenne, coriander, ginger, and juice from one of the limes into a medium bowl for the sauce.
• Lighly beat the eggs with a few dashes of salt in another bowl.
• Cut the green onions into 1 inch pieces and mince the garlic and place each in a separate bowl.
• Place the peanuts in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or other instrument. Place these into a bowl. Slice your remaining lime wedge and place in another bowl.
• Using a veggie peeler, grate your carrots into slices and place into a bowl. You should also have separate bowls for your bean sprouts and cilantro.
• Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the burner and place rice noodles in water. Let sit until tender yet firm. Remove and drain.
• Defrost the shrimp under cold water. Drain and let sit for a few minutes. Remove the tails, devein and place in a bowl.
• Take all of your ingredient bowls and place them near the stovetop as you will need the readily available.
• In a cleaned and dry skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium heat. When it is hot, add the eggs and cook until they are set but not too brown. Remove the eggs from the skillet and place in a clean bowl.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Stir fry for a moment, add the shrimp and raise the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry until the shrimp is pink and well-cooked.
• While the shrimp is cooking, quickly rinse the cooked noodles again and drain thoroughly. Then add the rice noodles, sauce, water, bean sprouts, peanuts, green onions, 1 tbsp of red pepper flakes and cooked eggs in with the shrimp. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing often. Do not overcook. Green onions should still be slightly crisp when you serve.
• Finally, place on serving plate and top with lime wedges, more peanuts, red pepper flakes and cilantro.
• Enjoy!
