Vegan Pad Thai & Thai green curry
Not too long ago I bought and cooked with my first pack of tofu! Diced it up in this Thai green curry and cooked a Pad Thai alongside. Perfect! Thai flavours and smells feel like home to me, no idea why!
Pad Thai
Ingredients:
4 tbsp. Thai green paste
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
1 thinly slices red onion
2 tbsp. soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
Handful of spring onions
Handful of chopped peanuts
100g cooked rice noodles
Method:
- Fry off the garlic, chilli and red onion (adding a little more oil if necessary) and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is tender.
- Pour over the soy sauce and the lime juice, then stir this for just a few seconds before adding the noodles, toss them around for 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through.
- Mix in half the peanuts and spring onions and serve the rest on top.
