6 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Simmer tamarind juice with palm sugar and fish sauce for 12 minutes until thickened, then let cool.
  2. 2 The sauce is made from pure tamarind, not pre-made, and that's what determines the flavor of the whole dish.
  3. 3 Soak dried rice noodles in warm water for 30 minutes, then drain; do not boil.
  4. 4 Sauté the shrimp for 90 seconds, then remove and fry the tofu with the dried radish for 4 minutes.
  5. 5 Sauté the pancakes with the tamarind sauce over high heat for 3 minutes, then push them aside and pour in the eggs.
  6. 6 Add the shrimp, mix for 30 seconds, and serve with crushed roasted peanuts, thinly sliced banana blossoms, and lime juice.
