Instructions
1
To create a pad thai sauce, combine sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and tamarind pulp in a medium-sized cooking vessel over a moderate flame.

To prepare the pad thai dish, immerse rice noodles in chilled water until they become pliable; discard excess water. In a large cooking vessel or wok, heat oil over a moderate flame and introduce garlic and eggs; mix until the eggs are fully incorporated. Add tofu and stir until it is well combined with the other ingredients; add noodles and continue stirring until they are cooked through.

Introduce the pad thai sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt into the mixture; blend until well combined. Add peanuts and ground radish, stirring until they are fully incorporated into the dish; remove from heat.

Add chives and paprika to the saucepan, stirring until they are evenly distributed throughout the dish.

Serve the pad thai hot, accompanied by a squeeze of lime and a side of bean sprouts.
