Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind paste
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free coconut aminos
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 cup Unsalted peanuts
- 8 ounces Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 3 whole Green onions
- 1 whole Red chili pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 30 minutes or until they are pliable, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, fish sauce, coconut aminos, and the juice of one lime to create the pad thai sauce. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Coarsely chop the peanuts and set aside for garnishing.
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Crush and add the garlic cloves, frying until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them, cooking through but still soft.
Add the soaked noodles, bean sprouts, and fried tofu to the pan, pouring the pad thai sauce over the top. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce.
Slice the green onions and red chili pepper, then add them to the pan. Toss and cook for another minute.
Garnish the pad thai with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and, if desired, additional lime wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free classic pad thai noodles.
