Simple Pad Thai

I love Pad Thai.... so this is my rendition of it:

Sauce (mix it together):
2 tbsp tamarind paste
1/4 cup chicken stock
3 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of chilli sauce (lessen it if you don't like it spicy)
2 tbsp of ketchup
3 tbsp of sugar
2 tbsp of peanut butter/peanut sauce
Pepper and salt to taste


1 packet of rice noodles (soften it in warm water for 30 mins)
1 brown onion/2 shallots
1 tsp of minced garlic
Bean sprouts
2 eggs
half pound of minced meat (beef/pork/chicken)
Crushed peanuts


1. Prepare the rice noodles. Normally, soak it in warm water until it is soften
2. Stir fry onions and garlic in vegetable oil
3. When fragrant, add in the minced meat and when cooked, add in the soften rice noodles and stir fry for a few minutes
4. Add in sauce and mix it together with the noodles
5. Crack in the eggs and stir fry
6. Lastly, add in the bean sprouts (if you like it raw, don't add it in, you can use it as topping) because I personally do not like raw sprouts.
7. Top the dish with crushed peanuts and cilantro + a wedge of lime

I made it for a friend who is Vegan.... I just eliminated the eggs and meat and use Vegetable stock instead.... :)
