Ingredients diff

  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 8 oz shrimp or thinly sliced chicken
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp tamarind concentrate
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Steps diff

  • Soak noodles in warm water until bendable but still firm in the center; drain well.
  • Heat wok over high, cook protein first if using, then scramble the eggs to soft curds.
  • Add noodles and sauce and toss continuously until glossy and just tender.
  • Fold in bean sprouts and scallions at the end so they keep bite.
  • Top with peanuts, chile, and lime and serve hot.

Technique notes diff

  • Pre-soaking noodles | Hydrates evenly before stir-frying. | Prevents broken or mushy noodles in the wok.
  • Heat staging and carryover control | Managing burner intensity and resting windows prevents overshoot from residual heat after active cooking. | This sequence relies on brief finishing steps where controlled carryover keeps texture and flavor balanced.
