Instructions

1

Soak the rice noodles in hot (not boiling) water for 8-10 minutes until pliable but still firm. Drain.

Tip: Do not oversoak the noodles. They should be slightly undercooked since they'll finish cooking in the wok.

2

Mix the tamarind paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

3

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.

4

In the same wok, add the garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Push to the side, crack in the eggs, and scramble quickly.

5

Add the drained noodles and the sauce. Toss vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the noodles absorb the sauce.

6

Return the shrimp to the wok, add bean sprouts and green onions, and toss for 30 seconds. Serve topped with crushed peanuts and lime wedges.
