Ingredients

Directions

  • 200g (7 oz) rice noodles
  • 150g (5.3 oz) firm tofu (halal-certified)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce (gluten-free and halal-certified)
  • 1 tbsp palm sugar
  • 100g (3.5 oz) bean sprouts
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 red chili, sliced
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  1. Begin by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes until they soften. Drain them well and set aside, letting them rest as you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. In a large wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Gently add the tofu cubes, frying them until each side turns a beautiful golden color, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the wok and set aside, allowing the tofu to hold its warmth and crispness.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Introduce the minced garlic and sliced shallots, stirring them gently. Allow their fragrant aroma to fill the kitchen as the shallots turn translucent, about 2 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the tamarind paste, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Let the sugar dissolve slowly, creating a smooth, rich sauce that will embrace all the flavors, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the soaked noodles to the wok, tossing them gently to coat in the sauce. Increase the heat to medium and stir-fry until the noodles are tender and infused with the rich flavors, about 5 minutes.
  6. Return the golden tofu to the wok. Add the fresh bean sprouts, sliced spring onions, and red chili. Toss everything together, allowing the ingredients to mingle and absorb the flavors, cooking for another 2 minutes until well combined.
  7. Serve the Pad Thai immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, inviting all to squeeze lime over their plates for an added burst of freshness.
