Traditional Pad Thai

Recipe Type: Main

Cuisine: Thai

Author: Sisley Killam

Serves: 2

Ingredients

Enough thick rice noodles or “pad thai noodles” for 2 people (I used “rice fettuccini noodles” and they worked great)
4 tbsp tamari soy sauce
2 tbsp all-natural peanut butter
Juice of 3 limes (2 for sauce, 1 for garnish)
3 tbsp coconut sugar, or regular brown sugar
1 tsp Sriracha
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 inch of ginger, grated
175g package of extra-firm organic tofu, rinsed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 of a red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 of a small zucchini, finely chopped
1 sprig of green onion, finely chopped
1 handful of cilantro, finely chopped
1 handful of chopped peanuts, for garnish

Instructions

In a boiling pot of hot water, cook the rice noodles until el dente.
In a small blender or food processor, blend the sauce. Add the tamari, peanut butter, the juice from 2 limes, sugar and sriracha. Blend until creamy and set aside.
In a frying pan, add the olive oil and lightly sautee the garlic and ginger. Add the tofu, bell pepper, zucchini and 1 tbsp of tamari and fry until golden brown.
Add the noodles, sauce, green onion and cilantro and cook on low heat until nicely combined (about 5-10 minutes)
Serve on a plate with fresh lime juice and peanuts for garnish. Enjoy!

Pad Thai is my absolute favourite, I could live off it if I had to. I make it a bit at home sometimes but your one looks so much better than mine. I’m going to be saving this recipe for future reference. Peanut butter must be the secret ingredient I’m missing. Thanks for sharing!
