Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Rice Noodles

    In a large bowl, soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together fish sauce, soy sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and chili powder until well combined. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook Shrimp

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Scramble Eggs

    In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary. Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove and set aside with the shrimp.

  3. 5

    Stir-Fry Vegetables

    Add garlic, carrots, and green onions to the pan, stirring for about 2 minutes until they start to soften. Then add the soaked rice noodles and the prepared sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs back into the skillet. Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
