Tofu Peanut Pad Thai

Ingredients

12oz. pad thai or rice noodles

2 TBSP olive oil

1 TBSP minced jarred garlic

1 package of firm tofu

8 TBSP soy sauce, divided

3 heaping spoonfuls of peanut butter

Juice from 1 1/2 limes

1 1/2 cups water

Sriracha

Green onions, chopped

Cilantro,

Chopped peanuts

Directions

1. Soak noodles in boiled water according to the package directions. Drain and set aside

2. While the noodles are soaking, open and drain tofu. Wrap the tofu in a paper towel. Place it on a plate with another plate on top. On the top plate, place something heavy like a ceramic bowl. This will help squeeze out excess water in the tofu. Let it sit while the noodles soak. Then remove from paper towel and cut in to cubes.

3. Heat a large skillet or wok to medium with the olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add tofu. Drizzle 2 TBSP of the soy sauce over the tofu. Cook until the tofu is browned.

4. While tofu is cooking, in a small bowl add 6 TBSP soy sauce, peanut butter, water, and lime juice. Whisk together until fully incorporated.

5. Add noodles to the skillet of tofu and garlic. Pour over sauce. Stir together and cook until the sauce thickens and the noodles absorb most of it.

6. Serve with garnish of green onions, cilantro, peanuts, and sriracha.
