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.
