recipe
Boil

water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a
large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the
chopped garlic and sauté until lightly golden.
Add
the diced tofu to the skillet and cook until golden and crispy on all sides.
Add
the julienned carrots, sliced bell peppers, and chopped spring onions to the
skillet. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are soft but
still crunchy.
Add
the rice noodles to the skillet along with the mung bean sprouts and mix well.
In a
small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, tamarind sauce, and cane sugar until
the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture into the skillet and mix
well to distribute evenly.
Add
fresh chili or chili powder, according to your taste and spice tolerance.
Continue
to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the
ingredients are well heated and the flavors have melded.
Remove
from heat and serve the hot vegetarian Pad Thai, garnished with lime wedges,
chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro sprigs.
This
eco-friendly vegetarian Pad Thai is rich in authentic flavors of Thai cuisine
and uses fresh, local ingredients to reduce environmental impact.
