Pad Thai

So easy, but so amazingly delicious.

First, I have to thank my good friend, Kelly, for this awesome recipe. We make it close to every week, and no longer feel the need to go out for Thai food (it is that good).

Main Ingredients:
-7 oz rice noodles
-package firm tofu (chopped into bite size pieces)

Garishes
-crushed peanuts (handful or so)
-green onion
-bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, lime wedges (all optional...I usually add one or two of these, depending on what I have on hand)
-egg omelet (made from 3 eggs)

Sauce:
-1/4 cup soy sauce
-3  TBSP lime juice
-3 TBSP ketchup (yup, ketchup)
-1 TBSP brown sugar (white would be fine too)
-1 TBSP peanut butter

Steps:
1. Cook noodles as directed (usually means bring water to a boil, add noodles and remove from heat, let sit for ~8 mins)
2. Chop garnishes
3. Whisk 3 eggs and make thin omelet, flipping once. Slice into pieces once cooked.
4. Add Pam to large wok, saute tofu until warm, adding some sauce. Add noodles and rest of sauce, tossing to coat.
5. Garnish and enjoy!

  2. I microwaved the sauce for a tiny tiny bit so it would blend easier. Success! I enjoyed this immensely!

  3. Oh, what a good idea b/c the peanut butter can be hard to blend. I will try that tonight (it's already up again on our menu).
