Steps

1
Soak the noodles in warm water 30 minutes until pliable but still firm. Drain well — never boil them.
2
Warm the tamarind, fish sauce and palm sugar together until the sugar dissolves. Taste: it should be equally sour, salty and sweet.
3
Get the wok smoking hot. Fry the shallots and dried shrimp briefly, then the prawns or tofu until just cooked. Push to one side.
4
Crack in the eggs, let them set for a moment, then break them up.
5
Add the drained noodles and the sauce and toss constantly for 2-3 minutes until the noodles absorb it and soften.
6
Throw in the beansprouts and chives and toss just 30 seconds — they should stay crunchy.
7
Serve with crushed peanuts, a lime wedge and chilli flakes on the side.
