Method

In a large pan of salted boiling water, cook noodles until al dente and then drain. Place noodles in cold water to avoid further cooking.

In a separate bowl, mix together the juice of half a lime, brown sugar, soy/oyster sauce, fish sauce and tamarind paste.

In a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat the oil. Saute the onion and garlic until lightly cooked. Then add the protein of your choice. Cook throughout.

Once the protein is cooked push the protein and vegetables to one side of the pan and pour in the egg. Scramble until just set then combine together with protein and veg. Add the cooked noodles and toss until combined.

Pour in the sauce mixture and toss until absorbed.

Garnish with peanuts, lime, chilli and a generous serving of coriander for an authentic Pad Thai.
