Recipe Summary Okinawan-Style Pad Thai
This is a famous dish popularized in Thailand. Although the recipe varies from cook to cook and region to region, this is a good attempt at recreating what I ate from Thai-owned hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Okinawa, Japan. Key to the flavor are the sugar levels, unsalted peanuts, peanut oil, and either oyster or fish sauce.Ingredients | Thai Soup Recipe Bangladeshi Style½ cup rice wine vinegar½ cup white sugar¼ cup oyster sauce2 tablespoons tamarind pulp1 (12 ounce) package dried rice noodlescold water, as needed½ cup peanut oil4 eggs1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic12 ounces chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips1 ½ tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste1 ½ teaspoons salt1 ½ cups dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts1 ½ teaspoons dried ground Asian radish1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste½ cup chopped fresh chives2 cups fresh bean sprouts1 lime, cut into wedgesDirectionsWhisk together rice wine vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, oyster sauce, and tamarind pulp in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.Place rice noodles in a large bowl and pour enough cold water to cover noodles.
