Anyone have a simple recipe for Phad Thai?

Shrimp Phad Thai



4 ounces medium-thick flat rice noodles

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Southeast Asian fish sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1/4 cup peanut oil

2 large eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt

12 ounces peeled and deveined medium shrimp

3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 shallots, thinly sliced

1 cup cubed firm tofu (about 6 ounces)

5 scallions (white and green parts), 3 cut into 1/2-inch pieces, 2 chopped

1 1/4 cups mung bean sprouts

1/3 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped, plus additional for garnish

For serving: Lime wedges, Sri Racha sauce (Thai hot chili sauce)



Put the noodles in a medium bowl with hot water to cover. Soak until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. Whisk the sugar with the fish sauce and vinegar in a small bowl.



Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot and add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Pour in the eggs, tilting the skillet as you pour to make a thin, even coating of egg. Cook until just set, about 45 seconds. Invert the eggs onto a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.



Add another 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil to the same skillet and heat over high heat. Add the shrimp, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper flakes, and salt, to taste. Stir-fry until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.



Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil over high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the tofu and cook about 2 minutes more. Add the noodles and cook, tossing, until lightly coated with the garlic mixture, about 1 minute. Add the fish sauce mixture and large scallion pieces and heat through. Stir in the cooked egg and shrimp, 1 cup of the sprouts, and the 1/3 cup peanuts and toss until hot. Divide the Phad Thai among plates and top with the remaining sprouts, additional peanuts, and chopped scallions.Anyone have a simple recipe for Phad Thai?

This is my favorite recipe for Phad Thai. It comes from "Quick %26amp; Easy Thai Cuisine" by Judy Lew and Chef Rut. I've tried many other recipes but none are as easy or as good as this one. I highly recommend the optional ingredients if you fix this. The 3 hours prep. time is soaking the rice noodles.
