Prepare Pad Thai sauce: For 2 servings
2 big tbsp. of palm sugar
3 tbsp. concentrated tamarind juice

Prepare:

1 tbsp minced garlic
1 big tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp fish sauce

Cooking instructions:
1. Heat the pan and add palm sugar, fish sauce, tamarind juice, oyster sauce and a little bit of water. Now use medium or low heat to let the sauce boil and get thick. Keep stirring. Make sure you don’t burn the sauce.
Now remove the sauce from the stove, we only need 5 tbsp of it. Save the rest for next time use. 🙂
2. Heat the pan and pour in 1 tbsp of vegetable oil, then add garlic and minced coriander root. When the garlic smells aromatic, add the vegetables that take more time to be cooked, first – baby corn, mushroom. Add 5 tbsp of Pad Thai sauce. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add onion, sweet pepper, string bean, cooked shrimps and scallions. Add fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce. Quickly stir for 10-15 seconds. Turn off the stove. 🙂
Don’t forget the cashew nuts! Add them now and mix well!
4. Serve with fragrant Jasmine rice from Thailand!
