PAD THAI

This aromatic pad Thai is real comfort food and brings a lot of flavor to the plate with just a few ingredients. The combination of soft rice noodles, crispy fried tofu, fresh sprouts, and a perfectly balanced sweet and sour sauce made from tamarind, lime, and ginger creates a well-rounded, satisfying dish that is suitable for both everyday meals and special dinners. The ginger shot gives the pad Thai a pleasant freshness and depth without being too spicy.

Ingredients for Pad Thai
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 spring onions
  • 20 g roasted peanuts
  • 150 g plain or smoked tofu (firm)
  • 180 g wide rice noodles
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or peanut oil
  • 2 organic eggs
  • 50 g fresh mung bean sprouts

𝗙𝘂̈𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲:

  • 1 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 1 ginger shot (30 ml) Classic
  • 2 tablespoons palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegan fish sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime

Preparation 

Lime, chili flakes, and spring onions for garnish

First, prepare all the ingredients: finely slice the onion, chop the spring onions, finely chop the garlic, and roughly chop the peanuts. Cut the tofu into cubes and beat the eggs in a small bowl. For the pad Thai sauce, mix all the ingredients together well and set aside.

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain and leave to dry. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan or wok and fry the tofu together with the onions and garlic briefly and vigorously until everything is lightly browned but still nice and al dente.

Push the ingredients to the edge of the pan, pour the beaten egg into the empty space and allow to set. Then add the soaked noodles, prepared sauce, mung bean sprouts and spring onions and mix everything thoroughly. Leave the pad Thai to cook over medium heat for another 2–3 minutes until the noodles have absorbed the sauce well.

To serve, arrange the pad Thai on plates and top with peanuts, fresh lime wedges, chili flakes, and spring onions. Enjoy immediately and serve while still warm.
