Proper Pad Thai

As opposed to an earlier recipe I have blogged which cheats by using a jar of pad thai sauce.

For 2-3 portions you need:
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp oil
3 bundles thick rice noodles (or udon/soba ones work well too)
3 cups mixed green veggies e.g. kale, chinese leaf, leeks etc
1/4 cup tamarind paste
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup light soya sauce
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup beansprouts
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
4 spring onions, finely sliced
large handful coriander, roughly chopped

Begin by cooking/soaking the noodles according to the pack instructions. Lightly scramble the eggs in a wok. Remove and leave to one side. Stir fry the veggies, add the noodles, eggs and everything else aside from the peanuts, spring onions and coriander. Cook for a few mins and then serve on plates garnished with the peanuts, onions and coriander.
