Recipe by: Jeff Smith (The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors)
available at some Asian markets  Start this dish by preparing the
Tamarind sauce (recipe follows). Set  it aside to cool.  Soak the
noodles in ample warm water until supple, about 15 minutes,  drain and
set aside. Place the noodles in boiling water and cook just  until the
water returns to the boil. Drain again. Heat the oil for  deep-frying
to 375 degrees F and deep-fry the tofu. Be sure to pat  the tofu dry on
a paper towel first so that it will not spatter fat  on you. Drain the
tofu and set aside.  Heat a large wok and add the peanut oil, garlic,
and chicken.  Stir-fry for a few minutes and then add the shrimp,
drained noodles,  beaten eggs, and deep-fried tofu. Toss well and
stir-fry for 3 to 4  minutes over medium-high heat. Add the remaining
ingredients, except  the garnishes, and stir-fry for a few more minutes
until the noodles  are hot and tender.  Place on a serving platter with
the garnishes, which are an integral  part of the dish. Serves 4-6.
NOTES: To make your own shrimp powder, grind dried shrimp in a food
processor or blender. Peanut oil can be reduced by half.
