Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of water for the udon noodles.
- Place a medium pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Drain the tofu then cut 280g (double for 4p) into 2cm cubes.
- Once pan is hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 7-10 mins. Turn frequently to ensure it doesn't burn.
- Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside when cooked.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- When the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until warmed through, 1-2 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop into a bowl. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop them sticking together.
- Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Quarter the lime. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim then grate the carrot (no need to peel).
- Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways.
3
- Return the (now empty) pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the garlic, pak choi and carrot with a pinch of salt and pepper until tender, 3-5 mins.
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, peanut butter, juice from half the lime wedges and half the chopped scallion.
- Loosen with a splash of water if necessary.
4
- Whisk 1 egg (double for 4p) in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
- Shift the veg to one side of the pan.
- Pour the egg mix into the empty side of the pan and gently stir with a spatula to create a scrambled texture.
- Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 mins.
5
- Add the tofu and sauce to the veg and mix together.
- Gently toss in the drained noodles.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Divide the tofu pad thai between bowls.
- Garnish with remaining scallions and squeeze over lime juice to taste.
