So I was contemplating whether or not I should go out to eat. There are quite a few thai restaurants in the area I live. However, I decided to instead to purchase a few items and make my way home to make my own Pad Thai…which I will share. Enjoy!
Gather Ingredients:
1 cup water, plus more for soaking the noodles
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 package rice noodles
A few garlic cloves
One head of broccoli
Tofu
2 fried eggs (exclude if vegan)
4 tablespoons peanut butter (I used chunky)
Gluten free tamari sauce
Juice of 1 large lime
3 Tbsp. sugar
Hot sauce of choice
Scalions,for garnish
Chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)
My method:
I boiled a large pot of water , turned the fire off and placed the rice noodles in the water and allowed it to soak for about 15 minutes.
In a large frying pan, heat the coconut oil , garlic cloves and tofu . Add tamari sauce and sauté. Add the broccoli chopped into small pieces. Cook for about 10 minutes. Fry the eggs in the same pan by pushing the ingredients to one side.
Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter, lime juice, sugar, hot sauce, some tamari sauce with 1 cup of water. After this is done, combine all the ingredients together in one pan. Add to your noodles and cook a few mintues more.
Top with scallions and crushed nuts. So easy. Beats going to the restaurant not only to avoid the risk of cross contamination but it tons cheaper. Enjoy!
