Soak the rice stick noodles in warm 'bath water' temperature water for about 1 hour. Never boil them; soaking ensures the correct chewy texture.
Prepare the ingredients: slice the baked tofu into thin planes, cut garlic chives into 2-inch strips on a bias, rough chop the garlic, and cut chicken thighs into thin strips against the grain.
Crush the roasted peanuts using the bottom edge of a saucepan for uneven, crunchy textures.
If using a banana leaf for plating, use an overturned bowl as a stencil to cut out perfect circles with a paring knife.
Make the Pad Thai sauce by combining fish sauce, vinegar, lime juice, tamarind concentrate, sugar, sriracha, and paprika in a bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Do not boil the rice noodles; soaking them in warm water for an hour is the key to the perfect texture.
Use baked tofu rather than water-packed tofu as it holds its shape better during high-heat stir-frying.
High heat is essential; look for the oil to shimmer and emit wisps of smoke before starting.
The sauce uses paprika for color; it's a great trick to get the classic orange-red hue without making it too spicy.
If the pan seems too dry while cooking the noodles, add a splash of the noodle-soaking water (the 'pasta water' trick).
