Fried Noodles, "Pad Thai"
Heat a little cooking oil and add the
garlic and shallots, and briefly stir fry until they just
shows signs of changing color.
Add the remaining ingredients such as FISH
SAUCE, sugar, dark sweet soy, tofu, tamarind
concentrate except the egg and the bean sprouts,
and stir fry until the noodles soften (about 5 minutes). As
you stir the noodles, periodically throw in 1-2 tablespoons
of water, and after 2-3 minutes add 1 tablespoon of rinsed.
Continuing to stir with one hand, slowly "drizzle"
in the beaten egg to form a fine ribbon of cooked egg.
At this point, a very tasty but optional addition is a small
handful of dried shrimps. Add the bean sprouts and cook for
no more than another 30 seconds. Remove from the pan to a
serving platter.
