No Meat Lotsa Heat Pad Thai


This recipe was given to me by an almost vegetarian friend. You can easily add shredded chicken, beef, fish or cooked scrambled egg. I included the recipe for fish sauce, but you could easily use the commercially available kind. This dish is a treat for anyone who likes spicy and/or thai food. Prep. Time includes marinating

Steps


To make fish sauce: mash anchovies with one clove of garlic and soya sauce.
Combine fish sauce with worcestershire , sugar , and lime juice in a bowl.
Add tofu and marinate for one hour at room temperature or up to 8 hours in fridge.
Drain tofu , reserving marinade.
Cook noodles and set aside.
Heat oil in wok and add garlic , onions , and red pepper.
Saut for 2-3 minutes on med-high heat then add hot pepper , tofu and 1 tbsp peanuts.
Stir fry 2-3 minutes more and add sprouts and noodles.
Heat through.
Add cilantro , remaining peanuts , chili just before serving.
Enjoy !.
