Tips

chill the noodles in colde or iced water after taking them out of boiling water to stop the cooking process and have all your vegs chopped before you start cooking anything, things have to be added quickly if you stop to chop ingredients the noodles will go mushy.


Directions

Bring large pot pf water to boil. Remove from heat and add noodles, stirring to separate. Soak 5-7 minutes, or until tender; then drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
Mix tamarind puree, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and crushed red pepper in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Prepare vegs all ready to go into pan.

Heat wok over med-high heat. Add frozen shrimp to wok, cook 5-7 minutes until just cooked through. Drain excess liquid. Add garlic, stir fry 1 minute.
Add remaining oil, and then noodles. Stir fry quickly . Add sauce mixture. Coat noodles evenly, stirring until heated through. Push to one side and break in eggs, let settle then mix into noodles. Stir in green onions, carrots and bean sprouts and cook 2 more minutes. Mound on serving platter, and garnish with peanuts, lime wedges and cilantro.
You can substitute the shrimp with chicken, if you're family prefers. :) It's yummy either way.
