Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 8-ounce package pad thai rice noodles
- 1 14-ounce block extra firm tofu pressed and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 4 scallions sliced, whites and greens divided
- 2 cups green cabbage shredded
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ cup peanuts crushed, for serving
Instructions
- Mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, hoisin sauce, and water. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When the water reaches a boil, add rice noodles and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside.
- Toss the tofu cubes and cornstarch in a medium bowl until well-coated. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu and stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tofu is lightly golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same pan over medium-high heat, add red onion, the whites of the scallions and shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onion starts to char slightly and the cabbage has wilted.
- Add in blanched noodles and fried tofu and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Push the noodles to one side of the pan and add eggs to the empty space. Cook the eggs until lightly scrambled, then stir to combine with the noodles.
- Add sauce to pan and stir fry until the noodles absorb most of the liquid, about 2 minutes.
- Serve topped with lime wedges, crushed peanuts, and green scallion tops.
