Ingredients

  • 10 ounces dried rice noodles

  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste

  • 6 tablespoons fish sauce, or to taste

  • 5 tablespoons tamarind paste

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 12 ounces chicken breast, thinly sliced

  • 1 (7 ounce) package firm tofu, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon shrimp paste

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions

  • ¾ cup dry roasted peanuts

  • 2 cups bean sprouts

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Soak rice noodles in a bowl of water for 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and tamarind paste in a bowl. Whisk well and set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add tofu. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes.
