Ingredients
200 grams rice noodles, (dried from Asian section in supermarket)
3 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
2 chilli pepper - fresh birds eye variety, deseeded and chopped (optional)
3 coriander roots, roughly chopped
2 tsp peanut oil
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 onion - red finely sliced
1 tbsp tamarind concentrate
2 tsp sugar, browned
125 grams tofu, cut into 2cm pieces
¼ cups peanuts, roasted & unsalted, chopped
3 cups bean sprouts
6 shallots (or eshallots) finely sliced
2 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp limes, juice
1 cucumber lebanese, cut into match sticks
2 tbsp coriander leaves, whole
1 tbsp mint, leaves, whole
Method

Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water; stand until just tender, drain.

Using a mortar and pestle, or small food processor, crush garlic, chilies and coriander to a paste.

Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Pour egg into wok; cook over medium heat, tilting pan, until almost set. Remove omelette from wok; roll tightly, slice thinly. Lightly fry tofu in batches in wok and place to side.

Heat remaining oil in wok or frying pan, stir-fry onion until soft but not coloured, add paste, tamarind concentrate, brown sugar, lime juice and tofu. Stir fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add half the nuts, sprouts and shallots; stir fry until sprouts are just wilted.

Add noodles, sauce and juice; stir-fry until hot.
Remove from heat; sprinkle with omelette, cucumber, coriander, mint and remaining nuts, sprouts and shallots over Pad Thai.

Serve with lime wedges.
