Tofu Egg Pad Thai

Tofu Egg Pad Thai. A delicious, savoury, sweet and tangy stir-fried noodle dish that will keep you coming back for more! Made in less than 30 minutes. Perfect for dinner or lunch!

I love Pad Thai. Every single time I go out to a Thai restaurant, it is probably the main thing that I order with, of course, some crispy spring rolls.

Then I thought why am I always spending at least $15 per dish when I can make my own tofu and egg pad Thai at home?! So with enough research, recipe testing and watching how others do it, I've finally mastered a recipe that I am proud to share here on the blog. So now you can make your own tofu egg pad Thai recipe that tastes pretty authentic.

Pad Thai is a very popular Thai dish and for good reason. This dish really hits every taste bud because it's salty, sweet, and tangy. If you add some chilis to it, it'll also hit that spicy taste bud.

A lot of people do get intimated by this dish because the noodles never turn out right but I will share how you can get your noodles springy, chewy and never soggy!

I also share other Thai recipes below so don't forget to check them out!

For this recipe

You will need the following ingredients for my pad Thai recipe:

• 240 grams flat vermicelli rice noodles soaked in warm water until loosened, about 5-7 minutes
• 2 cups bean sprouts, washed
• 1.5 cups tofu cubed
• 1 orange bell pepper sliced into matchsticks
• 2 eggs whisked
• 1 tsp garlic minced
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• Crushed peanuts optional
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup Reserved noodle water

Pad thai sauce:

• 4 tbsp cane sugar
• 4 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• ½ juice of a lime
• 4 tsp tamarind paste
• ½ cup hot boiling water

How to make Pad Thai

• Soak rice noodles in warm water for 5-7 minutes until softer and loosened. Strain but reserve ¼ cup of the noodle water for later

• In a small bowl, mix tamarind paste with hot boiling water to create tamarind concentrate. Stir and mix until the paste is broken down and the liquid becomes brown. Then strain out & discard the solid bits.

• To the same bowl of your tamarind concentrate add remaining sauce ingredients. Mix until sugar has dissolved. Set aside.

• In a hot wok or non-stick skillet, add avocado oil and diced tofu. Then add in garlic. Brown all sides of tofu cubes.

• Toss in bell peppers and bean sprouts. Cook until soft. Move everything to the side.
• Pour in egg mixture. Fry until eggs are cooked and break them into bite size pieces. Move this aside.

• Add in noodles with noodle sauce. Mix everything until well combined. Cook until noodles are soft and chewy.

• Serve with lime juice and crushed peanuts.

Tips for Making Pad Thai

• Do not boil your noodles. With most dried noodles, you never want to boil them. You only want to soak them in warm water for 5-7 minutes until loosened. Strain but reserve some of the water to moisten the noodles in the pan.
• Slice your veggies into matchsticks. This is really important for taste and texture of any noodle dish
• Cube your tofu, you want to ensure everything you're eating is in bite size form
• When frying your eggs, whisk them first and then push all your ingredients to the side of one pan to cook your eggs without having to use another pan
• Pre-mix your sauce. This is important. Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.

Where can I buy some of these ingredients?

• fish sauce - asian grocer in the sauce aisle or wester grocer in the international aisle
• tamarind paste - asian grocer in the sauce aisle. It should come in a block form. If you can't locate this, buy tamarind concentrate liquid instead and use 4 tablespoon of this.
• rice vinegar - asian grocer in the sauce aisle or wester grocer in the international aisle
• flat thin rice vermicelli - asian grocer in the noodle aisle but you can probably find these at most western grocers
