Pad Thai

This authentic Pad Thai is a vibrant example of classic Thai street food, offering a masterful balance of sweet, sour, and savoury flavours. As a high-protein dish, it combines succulent prawns and firm tofu with delicate rice noodles, all brought together by a tangy tamarind sauce. The addition of preserved radish and garlic chives provides a wonderful depth of flavour, making this a satisfying and nutritious choice for a midweek dinner.

Quick to prepare and incredibly versatile, this homemade version is far superior to any shop-bought alternative. It is perfect for those seeking a healthy, protein-rich meal that does not compromise on taste. Serve it immediately with plenty of lime wedges and crushed peanuts for that essential crunch, ensuring a fresh and fragrant finish.

Ingredients for Pad Thai

  • 140g pad thai rice noodles

  • 45ml di olio vegetale

  • 1 large egg, room temperature

  • 6 medium prawns, peeled, deveined (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons 1x1/2x1/8" slices pressed tofu (bean curd)

  • 1 tablespoon sweet preserved shredded radish, rinsed, chopped into 1" pieces

  • 1 cup bean sprouts

  • 80ml tamarind water, or 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon tamarind paste mixed with 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon water

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (or more) Thai fish sauce (nam pla)

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons simple syrup, preferably made with palm sugar

  • 4 garlic chives, 2 cut into 1" pieces

  • 1/2 teaspoons ground dried Thai chillies, divided

  • 2 tablespoons crushed roasted, unsalted peanuts, divided

  • 2 lime wedges

Place noodles in a large bowl; pour hot water over to cover. Let soak until tender but not mushy, 5-10 minutes. Drain; set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add egg; stir until barely set, about 30 seconds. Add prawns, if using. Cook, stirring, until prawns and egg are almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add tofu and radish; cook for 30 seconds. Add noodles and cook for 1 minute. Stir in sprouts. Add tamarind water, fish sauce, and simple syrup and stir-fry until sauce is absorbed by noodles and noodles are well coated, about 1 minute. Stir in chopped garlic chives. Add 1/4 teaspoons ground chillies and 1 tablespoon peanuts and toss well. Transfer to serving plates.

Garnish with remaining 1/4 teaspoons ground chillies, 1 tablespoon peanuts, and lime wedges.
