Pad Thai with Tofu Crumbles

Pad Thai is a total winner for so many reasons! It’s the ultimate go-to meal, super easy to whip up, packed with all the good stuff, and its taste? Oh-so-incredibly delicious!

Oh, here’s our little secret move - we switched out the traditional eggs for crumbled tofu. Genius, right? Tofu brings that eggy vibe with its texture and totally absorbs all those fantastic flavors. It’s like a double win - giving your dish a protein kick and a texture upgrade in one go.

1. Crumble the Tofu

2. Prepare the Sauce
   In a narrow vessel, use a vertical blender to combine soy sauce, maple syrup, peanut butter, tamarind paste, water, and optional nori sheets. Set aside.

5. Stir Fry the Vegetables
   Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the thinly sliced cabbage and stir-fry for around 3 minutes until it starts softening. Toss in the bell pepper and chili for another minute. Then, add spring onions and garlic, stirring for an additional minute.
