Pad Thai is made even more amazing with a homemade sauce. Sugar and tamarind are simmered together first to give it a nice syrupy texture. The addition of shallots, garlic and lime juice adds to the amazing flavor.

This recipe sure calls for a LOT of ingredients like shallots, garlic, rice noodles, dried and fresh Shrimp, Tofu, preserved Daikon radish, Chinese or Garlic Chives, Bean Sprouts, Eggs and so much more! The best part of making this yourself is that you can customize it - I like my Pad Thai dry, but you may like it saucy! I also like to control the amount of protein besides eggs I add to the dish. For simplicity, I added Shrimp, but you can also add Chicken to the dish if you like. You can also make this with Beef.

Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
Pad Thai sauce
2 cups of water 
8 oz - 226 gms Palm Sugar
1 tablespoon Tamarind paste
1 tbsp Chilli oil
1/2 cup finely minced Shallots
1/2 cup minced Garlic
Juice of a Lime
8 tbsps Fish sauce
1 tbsp of the Tamarind concentrate

400 gms of Rice sticks or Vermicelli (Pad Thai noodles)
1 + 1 tbsp Chilli oil
1/2 cup minced Shallots
1/4 cup minced Garlic
1/4 sweet Daikon preserved Radish
3/4 cubed Tofu
1/2 cup dried minced Shrimp 
300 gms Tiger Shrimp 
2 Eggs
2 cups Bean sprouts
1/2 cup Chinese Chives or Garlic Chives 
Chopped Peanuts to garnish


Prepare the sauce by boiling the water and adding the palm sugar and the tamarind
Cook this till the sugar dissolves and gets syrupy and take it off the heat
In a saute pan add the chilli oil and saute the shallots and garlic 
Pour the syrup through a strainer and bring to the boil
Add the lime juice, fish sauce and tamarind concentrate
Refrigerate for best results

Soak the noodles in barely warm water for 15 minutes
Heat up some oil and add the shallots followed by the garlic and allow these to saute for a minute
Add in the radish & tofu and follow with the minced dried shrimp
Move everything over to one side and add more oil and cook the Shrimp
When it starts to turn orange, mix it with the other ingredients and keep cooking till fully orange
Add the drained noodles followed by the prepared sauce - I used 2 cups you can use more for a saucier Pad Thai
Move everything over to one side again and beat in the eggs and scramble them
Allow them to set before mixing.
Finally toss in the bean sprouts and chives and toss to cook
Serve with the chopped peanuts
