instructions
    1

    Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.

    2

    In a bowl, mix fish sauce, sugar, and tamarind paste to create the sauce. Stir well and set aside.

    3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.

    4

    In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and crack in the eggs. Scramble until just set, about 1 minute.

    5

    Add the drained rice noodles to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until noodles are coated and heated through.

    6

    Add the cooked shrimp and toss again for another minute.

    7

    Finally, add the bean sprouts and chopped green onion, mixing everything gently for another minute.

    8

    Serve hot, garnished with crushed peanuts and lime wedges.

  • Use tofu instead of shrimp for a vegetarian version.
Important Tips
  • Use fresh shrimp for best flavor.
  • Adjust sugar and tamarind to taste for a balanced flavor.
  • Don't overcook the noodles; they should be soft but not mushy.
