Shrimp Pad Thai Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice Noodles

    Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20-30 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Scramble the Eggs

    In the same skillet, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Combine Noodles and Sauces

    Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Toss to combine and heat through.

  6. 6

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Return the cooked shrimp, tofu, scrambled eggs, and sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with red pepper flakes as desired.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Pad Thai hot, garnished with crushed peanuts and cilantro.
