1. 1

   Soak rice noodles in warm water until pliable, then drain.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, fish sauce, palm sugar, and chili flakes (if using). Add a little water if too thick.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and fry until golden brown, then remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the wok. Add garlic and shallots and stir-fry until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add sliced chicken and stir-fry until cooked through.

6. 6

   Push chicken to one side of the wok. Pour beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until almost set. Then mix with the chicken.

7. 7

   Add the drained noodles and the tamarind sauce mixture to the wok. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly.

8. 8

   Add bean sprouts, garlic chives, and fried tofu. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until bean sprouts are slightly tender-crisp.

9. 9

   Season with salt and pepper to taste. If noodles seem dry, add a splash of water.

10. 10

    Serve immediately, garnished with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
