TRADITIONAL PAD THAI NOODLES
Pad Thai noodles are an easy stir fry dish that's quick to make and full of flavor. A street food dish popular in Thailand, pad Thai rice noodles feature a sweet and savory sauce that's made from ingredients like tamarind concentrate (found at most grocery stores or at your local Indian or Asian grocery), Thai Kitchen® Gluten Free Premium Fish Sauce, rice vinegar, spices and sugar. What's great about this Thai noodles recipe is that it can be made with a variety of proteins, like shrimp, chicken or even firm tofu - just toss together with some Thai Kitchen® Gluten Free Stir Fry Rice Noodles and you're ready to enjoy. The key to a traditional pad Thai recipe is to sprinkle fresh toppings like bean sprouts, unsalted peanuts, fresh cilantro and lime wedges on top to help bring out the tangy flavor. Stick to an Asian theme and enjoy your pad Thai noodles recipe with a refreshing glass of Coconut Thai Iced Tea or Thai Iced Coffee. You can also add some sweetness to your meal with some Thai Coconut Pudding - the perfect finishing touch for Thai noodle dishes.

PAD THAI NOODLES
This popular Thai noodle dish has a delicate balance of spicy, sweet, salty, and sour flavors. This recipe is based on a traditional Bangkok-style version of the dish. It is not swimming in sauce like many Western versions found in restaurants. The dish is full of flavor with a light coating of delicious sauce in every bite. Serve with lime wedges, fish sauce, sugar, white pepper or pepper flakes, and vinegar on the table so guests can individually adjust tastes.

THAI NOODLES (PAD THAI)
This is an adopted recipe that I have not yet had time to prepare. The original poster's comments are as follows: "This is my favorite version of Pad Thai. It's a wonderful mix of flavors - the sweetness is nicely contrasted with the tartness of the limes and red chilis. You can use chicken, pork, shrimp or a combination of all three. This is a meal in itself - It's really great with Thai iced tea! From "Thai Home Cooking" by Kamomal Pootaraska -- NOTE: I replaced the original version of recipe #7941 (when I adopted it in February 2005) with this authentic version that I have used time and time again with great success. It tastes just like the Pad Thai I have enjoyed in authentic Thai restaurants."

STIR-FRIED THAI NOODLES: PAD THAI
Steps:
- Soak the dried rice noodles in cool or lukewarm water for 30 minutes, or until they're limp but still firm to the touch; later cooking in the wok will soften them more. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, tamarind juice, and sugar; stir well to melt the sugar. Taste and adjust flavors to the desired combination of salty, sour, and sweet.
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat until it is smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and quickly stir-fry the shrimp until they turn pink and are almost cooked through; 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the remaining oil to the wok and toss in the garlic, shallots, and chile; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Push the garlic and shallots to 1 side of the wok and pour the egg into the center. Scramble the egg lightly until set, breaking it up into pieces with a spatula. Add the drained noodles to the wok, stirring and tossing quickly with 2 spatulas to separate the strands. Pour in the fish sauce mixture, tossing well to coat the noodles and keep them from sticking (if the noodles are still too firm, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to help them cook.)
- When the noodles are in good shape, toss in 1/2 of the bean sprouts and peanuts; save the remaining for garnish. Continue to stir-fry, to combine. Return the shrimp to the wok and toss the pad thai together to warm everything through. Serve the pad thai on a platter, pile the remaining bean sprouts and peanuts on 1 side of the dish and garnish with the lime wedges and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over each portion before eating.
THAI NOODLES (PHAD THAI)
This is my favorite recipe for Phad Thai. It comes from "Quick & Easy Thai Cuisine" by Judy Lew and Chef Rut. I've tried many other recipes but none are as easy or as good as this one. I highly recommend the optional ingredients if you fix this. The 3 hours prep. time is soaking the rice noodles.
