A small bunch of chives (cut lengths)
1 cup bean sprouts

1/2 cup coarsely chopped unsalted roasted peanuts-(Ayu didnt add this)
 2 blocks fried tofu (cut into thin pieces)-(Ayu used 1 blk only & fried first )

Heat up a wok and add oil. When the oil is very hot, add the minced garlic + minced shallots and do a few quick stirs. Add shrimp into the wok and stir until half cooked and then add the fried tofu pieces, noodles and Pad Thai sauce-(Ayu used about 3-4 tbsp-this is for 2 person) into the wok and stir continuously. Push the noodles to one side and crack the eggs into the wok, break it up by stirring and wait for 10-15 seconds, and then stir in the noodles. Add bean sprouts and chives into the wok, stir for 1 minute, dish out, sprinkle some peanuts on top and serve with a wedge (or two wedges) of lime.

Cook’s Note:
The above recipe is adapted from the cookbook. If you wish to make Pad Thai sauce from scratch. The recipe is below.

Pad Thai Sauce from Scratch
Ingredients:
1/4 cup warm water + tamarind pulp the size of golf ball
1/4 cup fish sauce
4 tablespoons palm sugar-(Ayu used only 3 tbsp)
1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons paprika powder (if you like it hot, use 2 tablespoons)-(Ayu used 3 tbsp chili paste)

Method:
Soak the tamarind pulp in warm water for 15 minutes to extract the juice. Squeeze the seeds and membrane of the tamarind pulp to get the juice. Filter the tamarind juice for use and discard the residue.
In a small sauce pan, heat up tamarind juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, and paprika powder(chili paste). Lower the heat and let it simmer until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat when it’s done.
The Pad Thai sauce is good for 8 oz. of noodles in the recipe.-(To Ayu this sauce is good for a 500g noodles)
