Preparation
Step 1:
Soak noodles in warm water for 1 hour. In the meantime, make the pad thai sauce by combining maple syrup, fish sauce, paprika, coconut aminos, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, and water in a bowl.
Step 2:
Heat the oil in a wok or large pan on high heat. Gather the garlic, jalapeno, eggs, soaked noodles and sauce by the wok. When the oil begins to smoke, add the garlic and jalapeno. Keep the aromatics moving, and after 30 seconds, crack the eggs into to wok. Scramble the eggs and keep the mixture moving. Once scrambled, add the noodles. Mix the noodles with the egg until all the water from the soaked noodles have evaporated. Add the sauce and mix until the noodles have absorbed all of the sauce. The noodles should be cooked at this point, and if not, add a little more water. Remove from heat.
Step 3:
Place the noodles on a platter and add the remaining ingredients, bean sprouts, carrots, peanuts, chives, cilantro and additional lime slices. Serve.

Additional Notes
If you do not have tamarind concentrate, you can just omit it. Tamarind just gives a different type of tartness and complexity. Pad Thai usually has really high amounts of sodium from the fish sauce. In this recipe, we have cut down the fish sauce and pumped up the other flavors. This dish dances on the tongue it is so flavorful.
