Combine the tamarind with the fish sauce and palm sugar in a bowl.

Julienne tofu and cut into 1 inch pieces.

Heat half the oil in the wok and stir fry the shallots first, then add the garlic, just till fragrant.

Add the eggs and stir to scramble for 1 minute. Add the noodles, stir, add the tofu. As you add ingredients, push the ingredients that are already in the wok up the sides to avoid overcrowding, thus creating unwanted steam.

Add the Fish Sauce mixture, chili powder and half the peanuts. Add half the bean sprouts. Test noodles for doneness. Adjust seasoning if necessary. You want to achieve a nice balance between salty, sour, sweet and spicy.

Spoon onto plates and top with julienne red chili, green onion, bean sprouts and peanuts. Serve Lime Wedges on side of plate.
