Instructions

  • Presoak the noodles or buy precooked pad thai noodles.
  • Dice tofu, garlic, and green onions. Add them to a saute' pan along with sesame oil. Sauté on med-high heat until tofu slightly starts to turn a golden color.
  • Add in noodles, half of your peanuts, sriracha sauce, brown sugar, water, and soy sauce. Stir and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

  • Give it a final few stirs, remove from heat and plate. Top with Lime, green onions and the other half of the peanuts.

Notes

If you want to make to add more protein and flavor to this pad thai, you can add an egg to the frying pan after you cook the tofu. Crack an egg into your pan, stirring/breaking up frequently for around 8 minutes while it all cooks together. Your tofu will get a nice coating of egg/crispness during this step and brown up a little more.
