This stir-fried rice noodles is a mix of fish sauce, tamarind juice, red chili pepper, plus a combination of bean sprouts and tofu, garnished with crushed peanuts, coriander and lime, the juice of which can be added along with Thai condiments and is served with scallions. The key to perfect Pad Thai is in the cooking (or "not" cooking) of the noodles, says Chef Asif Ali, who is specialized in global cuisine for over 3 decades
