Enjoy authentic Pad Thai Rice Noodles – a classic Thai stir-fry with rice noodles, fresh vegetables, egg, peanuts, and tangy-sweet sauce for the perfect balance of flavors.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until very hot.
- Add a little oil and toss in the tofu pieces, sautéing for about 1 minute until lightly golden.
- Next, add the Oriental Express medium rice noodles, drained but still slightly moist—the retained water will help them soften quickly. Stir in the tamarind sauce, ketchup, and sugar, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon so the flavors coat the noodles evenly.
- Push the noodles slightly to the side, crack in the eggs, and scramble for 1–2 minutes until just cooked through.
- Add the spring onions, Oriental Express bean sprouts, and a pinch of salt, then stir-fry everything together for another 1–2 minutes.
- Check the noodles for tenderness—if they need a bit more cooking, splash in a shot of water and toss until fully soft and flavorful.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately, hot and fresh.
