Weird Pad Thai Imitation
Note 1 : Inspired by <https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/best-pad-thai/> Ingredients: 200gm pad thai dried flat noodles (or 400gm kuey teow halus) 6 prawns 5 squids (3 squids) +2 tbsp isi kerang 1 tbsp garlic minced (4 ulas) 2 tbsp onion minced (1 biji bawang medium) 2 tbsp thai palm sugar or "nise padi" (or 2 tbsp jaggery) +3 tbsp sugar 4 tbsp fish sauce (7 tbsp fish sauce) 1 tbsp oyster sauce (original don't have) 1 tbsp soy sauce (original don't have) 3 tbsp tamarind paste + 1 1/2 or 2 cups of water A bunch of chives, sliced matchsticks 1/2 firm / soft tofu, diced to small cubes A bunch of bean sprouts, if you like +1 egg, if too watery. Usually I don't put. Garnish: Coarsely ground peanut Thai chili flakes Calamansi or "limau kasturi" Noodle Prep: 1. Soak pad thai noodle in warm water to soften. Drain water once tender. If using kuey teow halus, simply soak in tap water (room temp) & rinse a few times to remove the excess noodle oil & lime
