Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Noodles

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes or until they're soft. Drain and set aside.

2

Cook the Tofu

In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Scramble the Eggs

Push the tofu to one side of the pan, crack the eggs into the other side, and scramble them until fully cooked.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the soaked noodles, Pad Thai sauce, and bean sprouts to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.

5

Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with green onions, chopped peanuts, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
