Default Pad Thai recipes

Anyone have any of these?

The recipe seems to vary in all parts of Thailand. I have found some to be
taste too much like shrimp paste so I don't use as much.

My recipe (well the one I like best) is:

Heat a wok, put in about a teaspoon of peanut oil, make a two egg omelette.
Roll it up, slice and put aside.

Sauce:
a dash of fish oil, a teaspoon of shrimp paste ( to taste), a tablespoon of
palm suger, add some chilli (two small ones - hot). a tablespoon of tamarind
paste and some chopped shallots.
grind the chillis, shallots with a mortar and pestle, add the rest. You can
also add some glangal which isn't as overpowering as ginger.

Stir fry either chicken pieces or green prawns and put aside.
Stir fry some vegetable (whatever you like) I generally use celery and
cabbage, string beans.

Add the meat and sauce and little water. so it steams a little.

Boil some water, add some rice noodles until soft (a minute or so) then
drain.
Add noodles to the mix, and some bean sprouts just before serving or perhaps
just serve these fresh.

Serve with the egg over the top, some chopped coriander and chopped peanuts.

Yummo!
