Tofu Pad Thai
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package tofu, drained and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 8 ounces dry rice stick noodles
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sriracha hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
  • 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
1
Prepare the tofu by dusting it with cornstarch in a bowl.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; cook the tofu until it is lightly browned on all sides, taking about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
3
Prepare the noodles by placing them in a bowl and pouring in enough boiling water to cover them; let them soak until they become soft, approximately 3 minutes. Drain the noodles.
4
Combine water, sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, tamarind concentrate, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over low heat; cook the sauce by stirring it until all the flavors blend together, taking about 5 minutes.
5
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, noodles, and sliced onion; cook and stir until the tofu is golden brown; this should take about 3 minutes. Gradually add the sauce to the wok, stirring until the noodles are well-coated.
6
Transfer the noodle mixture to one side of the wok. Crack an egg onto the opposite side of the wok; stir until it begins to set, taking about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Gently stir the egg into the noodles.

Finally, garnish with green onions, peanuts, and lime wedges.
