Steps

  1. Warm the tamarind, fish sauce, and sugar together until the sugar dissolves.

  2. Sear the shrimp or chicken in hot oil, then push aside and scramble the eggs.

  3. Add the drained noodles and the sauce and toss constantly for 2–3 minutes until they soften and absorb it.

  4. Throw in the bean sprouts and half the peanuts and toss for 30 seconds so they stay crunchy.

  5. Serve with the rest of the peanuts, lime, and chili flakes.
