Pad Thai:
1/2 lime
1 egg
4 teaspoons fish sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground dried chili pepper
ground pepper to taste
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon tamarind
1/2 package Thai rice noodles
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Use a wok!. If you do not have a wok, any big pot will do!. Heat it up on high heat and pour oil in the wok!. Add shallot and garlic, and stir them until they start to brown!.
Cook noodles, drain and add to the wok!.
Stir quickly to keep things from sticking!. Add tamarind, sugar, fish sauce, chili pepper and preserved turnip!. Stir!. The heat should remain high!. If your wok is not hot enough, you will see a lot of juice in the wok at this point!. Turn up the heat, if it is the case!.
Make room for the egg by pushing all noodles to the side of the wok!. Crack the egg onto the wok and scramble it until it is almost all cooked!. Fold the egg into the noodles!. Add shrimp and stir!. Add bean sprouts, chives!. Stir a few more times!. The noodles should be soft and very tangled!.
