Recipe Vegetarian Padthai

[DesertMan]

Hi,
One of our favorites eastern dishes is the Padthai.
I thought I would share the recipe

Ingredients:​

• 150g tofu - cut to small cubes
• 100g rice noodles
• 100g bean sprouts
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 onion (red one is better) - sliced.
• 1/2 cup water
• green onion stalks - cut to 2" pieces
• 1 carrot - cut like matches

Sauce:

• 4 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp black soi sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mushroom sauce
• 2 tbsp tamarind paste
• 2 tbsp sugar

Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Put the rice noddles in a bowl of water an hour before cooking.

Heat the oil in the wok, add the onion and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the tofu cubes and continue to fry till the tofu changes its color to golden-yellow.
Add the eggs and stir till the eggs look like scrambled eggs...
Add the noddles (without the water) to the wok.
Pour the sauce and stir for a minute.
Add the 1/2 cup of water and let it boil.
Just before the noddles are ready, add the vegetables (carrot, sprouts, green onion ).
Stir till the carrot is ready.

Thanks for posting. Good to have more tofu recipes on the forum. What is the mushroom sayce you are using?

I was briefly wondering where the fish sauce was....
Then I read the title again and it all made sense
Well, not all, as I am also wondering what this mushroom sauce is

Thank you guys.
1. fish sauce: if you wish to use fish sauce then use only one spoon of soy sauce and one fish sauce.
2. mushrooms sauce: just a sample I got from google, there are many suppliers (I bought that one in Thailand but now I use another one which I bought in Israel, pretty much the same taste )...

...found it but has MSG which I dislike. It's not so much a health concern. I can just detect it straight away and it takes over other tastes. I expect there us a non MSG brand so will search.

I think it is the vegetarian alternative to oyster sauce, so if you are not a vegetarian, you could use that instead

 

[DesertMan]

That is correct
