Ingredients
For Pad Thai
- 9 ounces flat rice noodles
- 3 tablespoon peanut oil (or any cooking oil)

- ½ teaspoon tamarind paste

Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for Pad Thai sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
- Start by soaking the rice noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes. Then drain and set aside.
- While the noodles are soaking, heat a heavy bottom pan or a wok over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil.
- Add shrimps to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes. The shrimps will start to change color and look pink. Remove from the pan to a bowl for later.
- Beat two eggs with a pinch of salt. Add beaten eggs to the same pan. Toss eggs to until almost cooked and scrambled. Remove to a bowl for later.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add minced garlic and cook (about 30 seconds) until it is fragrant.
- Toss in red bell pepper and stir it for 30 seconds.
- Add cooked shrimps back to the pan along with soaked rice noodles. scrambled eggs, bean sprouts, and half of the roasted peanuts.
- Pour in the sauce and using tongs or a spatula toss until everything is combined.
- Top with remaining roasted peanuts, chopped cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
- I like to use small shrimp for this recipe so there's a better noodle to shrimp ratio. Look for 51/60 or 41/50 size shrimp at the store.
