Directions
- Soak pad thai noodles in a bowl of warm water for 25-30 minutes, or until limp but still too firm to eat.
- Drain and rinse noodles with cold water. Place in a bowl and cover with a dampened paper towel to avoid hardening.
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Stir well to dissolve the paste and sugar. Set aside.
- Warm a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 tbsp of oil, green onions and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the tofu and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add carrots.
- Move ingredients to the side of the wok and add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil to the center of the wok. Add beaten eggs and stir-fry briefly to scramble.
- Add the drained noodles and 1/3 of the sauce.
- Stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes. Keep adding sauce and stir-fry for 3-6 minutes until sauce is absorbed and noodles are soft but chewy.
- Turn off heat and add the bean sprouts and cilantro. Place dish and garnish with peanuts if desired.
