Pad Thai with Fresh Prawns

Ingredients

• 1 pack soaked rice noodles
• 8 fresh prawns
• 2 eggs
• bean sprouts, garlic chives
• tofu, ground peanuts
• pad thai sauce (tamarind, fish sauce, palm sugar)

Method

• Stir-fry prawns and tofu until cooked; set aside
• Add noodles and pad thai sauce; add a little water until the noodles soften
• Push noodles aside, scramble the eggs, then combine with the noodles
• Add bean sprouts, chives and prawns; top with peanuts; serve with lime

How to Choose

Choose bouncy, clear fresh prawns · plump white crisp bean sprouts · fresh green garlic chives · rice noodles that stay chewy and don't break easily.

Chef's Secret

Secret: soak the noodles until just soft (not mushy), then fry with the sauce on high heat, adding water bit by bit for chewy, sauce-coated noodles; the sour-sweet-salty balance is key; freshly roasted ground peanuts are more fragrant.
