Bring the stock to the boil with 1 tablespoon spice
paste, lemon grass, coriander seeds and sambal and boil 5 minutes. Add
the beef and boil 1 1/2 hours. Cut the beef in very thin strips. Mix
the lemon juice with the brown sugar and the remaining spice paste and
marinate the beef shreds one hour in this mixture. Fry the beef in hot
oil until crisp and drain it on tissues.

Put the noodles in
hot water for half a hour. Stir fry the red peppers and the garlic for
2 minutes, add the tofu and the bean sprouts and stir fry 5 minutes
more. Drain the noodles and add them; stir fry three minutes. Mix the
fish sauce with the tamarind and stir that through the noodles; stir
in the eggs as well. Add salt to taste. Spoon the noodles on plates
and sprinkle the green onions and the nuts on top.
Pad Thai is actually a "phony Thai recipe".It was
introduced by the Chinese immigrants in the 20th century. After the
Second World War, the government tried to create employment by boosting
noodle production and noodle shop opening. The ethnic Chinese
immediately took up this opportunity and added a noodle dish to their
list with flavors, liked by Thai: Pad Thai (Thai style stir fried noodles).
Pad Thai is very popular in the United States, where they use tomato
ketchup in the sauce, thus creating their own "Pad American".
