• 200 grams rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 200 grams firm tofu, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 carrots, julienned
• 150 grams bean sprouts

• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
•  Garnish:
•  Fresh coriander
•  Roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
•  Lime wedges

Instructions

1. 1 Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse them under cold water after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
2. 2 Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
3. 3 Add the bell pepper, carrots, bean sprouts, spring onions, and garlic to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are cooked but still crispy.
4. 4 While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce. Mix the soy sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and chili flakes in a small bowl.
5. 5 Add the cooked noodles, tofu, and sauce to the pan. Stir everything together well, ensuring everything is coated in the sauce.
6. 6 Serve the Vegan Pad Thai with fresh coriander, roasted peanuts, and lime wedges. No stress! It will turn out great!
