Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the noodles

    Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 20 minutes or until softened, then drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the vegetables

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the vegetables

    Add the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the noodles

    Add the soaked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. If using, add the cubed tofu at this point.

  5. 5

    Season the dish

    Pour in your favorite Pad Thai sauce (around 1/4 cup), and toss everything together gently. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions and lime wedges if desired.
