Pad Thai - shrimp and vegetable 7 ounces medium rice stick noodles1/4 cup fish sauce1/4 cup rice wine vinegar3 tablespoons palm sugar or dark brown sugar1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper1/4 cup coconut milk1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate, optional1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil3 tablespoons peanut oil12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined1 cup diced firm tofu1 cup sliced shiitake mushroom caps1 cup mung bean sprouts2 large carrots, cut into matchstick-sized strips1/2 cup matchstick-sized red bell pepper strips2 tablespoons minced garlic1/2 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped1/2 cup diagonally sliced green onions2 tablespoons fresh lime juice1/4 cup chopped cilantro leavesSriracha (Thai hot sauce), for serving Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with the boiling water. Allow noodles to soak for 5 minutes, drain, and rinse with cold, running water for 30 seconds. Drain well and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, red pepper, coconut milk, and if desired, the tamarind concentrate, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Heat the sesame and peanut oils in a wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Just before the oil is smoking, add the shrimp and cook until pink, stirring constantly. Add the tofu, mushrooms, bean sprouts, carrots, red bell pepper, garlic, and reserved noodles, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.  Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and toss until combined. Cook until the mixture is steaming and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the peanuts and green onions and cook an additional 30 seconds. Remove the wok from the heat and season with the lime juice and cilantro. Serve hot with Sriracha, if desired.
