Try topping your Pad Thai with cilantro and freshly squeezed lime juice for a more authentic and flavourful taste!

Additional Tips:

  • Want to add a bit of spice to your noodle dish? Use chili flakes or Sriracha hot sauce to pack that extra punch!
  • When cooking rice noodles you may want to slightly undercook your rice noodles and soak them in cold water! That way, when they soak and absorb moisture from the other ingredients, they won’t become mushy and overcooked!

What you need:

  • 1 ½ Cup Rice Noodle, Dry
  • 2 Tbsp Veggie Oil
  • 2 Cup Diced Tofu
  • 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • ½ Cup Diced Onion

  • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
