Tofu Pad Thai

It may have quite a long ingredients list but this Pad Thai really is worth it – and it can be ready in less than 30 minutes. We add peanut butter for a smooth richness that marries perfectly with the zingy lime you'll squeeze on at the end.

For the noodles

  • 150 g firm tofu

For the sauce

  • 20 g peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.

  • Drain and dice the tofu, then add to the pan and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  • In a bowl, beat the egg with a dash of water. Add to the pan and break apart slightly as it cooks for 2 minutes.
  • Finally, add the sauce and noodles to the pan, stir and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Serve with a squeeze of lime and the chopped coriander. Optionally, top with some chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
