You’ll be surprised by how simple it is to make your own homemade Pad Thai, including the sauce.
Bring a pot filled with water to a boil. Once boiling, cook noodles for the time indicated on the noodle packaging.
Drain the noodles and set aside.
In a bowl, add puree, fish sauce, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Mix together until the brown sugar fully dissolves, set aside.
Set a wok over high heat. Add coconut oil and shrimp. Pan-fry until the shrimp are cooked through. Set aside.
Add tofu to the wok. Cook until it turns golden-brown on every side.
Once tofu is browned, add garlic and chopped garlic chives, and toss for 20-30 seconds.
Add noodles and sauce. Mix until the noodles are lightly browned, then push the noodles to the side of the wok.
Pour the eggs on the opposite side of the wok to the noodles. Scramble using a wooden spoon or chopsticks.
Add the shrimp along with bean sprouts, garlic chives, and peanuts. Continue stirring until all combined with the noodles.
Serve with remaining peanuts, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Enjoy!
