Pad Thai
Cook the rice noodles according to the package directions (usually about 3-5 minutes). Once cooked, rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Julienne the carrots with a mandolin, grater or peeler. Mince the shallots and green onions. Chop the garlic and cilantro. Coarsely chop the cashews.
Cut the tofu evenly into strips. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add the minced shallots and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tofu, garlic, and pinch of salt. Brown the tofu for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook for another minute.
Add the cooked noodles and ⅓ cup of the sauce, mixing well to cover all the ingredients. Cook for about 30 seconds, until the sauce is absorbed.
Add the green onions and cilantro and toss lightly. Add 1 tbsp of sauce at a time until the desired texture and flavour is achieved.
To serve, add the carrots, bean sprouts and cashews. Garnish each plate with a wedge of lime.
