Tofu Pad Thai
Tofu Pad Thai uses rice noodles, tofu, and a tangy sauce made with tamarind paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, and sriracha. The tofu is browned and cooked with garlic, ginger powder, jalapeño, and broccoli, creating a balance of spicy and savory flavors. Peanuts add crunch and a nutty contrast after being mixed with the noodles and sauce.
