This Pad Thai noodle dish is better than take out, the best part is that it comes to together in 30 minutes. Add any proteins you like or keep it vegetarian. The noodles are topped with peanuts and cilantro, and you have dinner ready quicker than delivery.
The first thing I like to do is prep all the ingredients. The dish will come together extremely quickly once you start cooking so the prep portion is important.

Make the sauce by mixing brown sugar, tamarind concentrate, soy sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice from half a lime. Bring a pot of water to boil for noodles
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium. Add shallots and carrots to pan and sauté for 5 minutes. Then push the shallots and carrots to one side of the pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the empty side of the pan and add eggs. Let the egg mixture sit for 15 seconds and then proceed to scramble the eggs.
Add noodles, sauce, and scallions to the pan. Gently toss and incorporate the noodles, sauce, and vegetables together. Top with chopped peanuts and cilantro and serve immediately. Garnish with lime wedges on the side and enjoy.
