Vegetarian Pad Thai

Vegetarian Pad Thai

A vegetarian version of the classic street style stir fried noodles.

Preparation:

1. Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions until 'al dente'. Run under cold water to stop them cooking. Set aside.
2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok or frying pan until very hot and stir fry the sliced red onion, chilli and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
3. Cut the tofu into cubes around 2cm large. Heat the remaining oil and stir fry the cubes, carefully so as not to break them, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Return the onion, chilli and garlic to the pan with the Blue Dragon Pad Thai Sauce and the noodles. Stir fry over a high heat for 1 minute or so, until heated through.
5. Crack over an egg and let it begin to set. Then carefully stir it in to the noodles until it takes the appearance of little shreds of egg through the noodles.
6. Remove from the heat and toss in the coriander, mint, spring onions and peanuts, and add a squeeze of lime juice. Spoon onto plates or bowls and garnish with peanuts and a lime wedge.

Always soak your rice noodles before stir-frying or adding to a salad... more
