Going vegetarian doesn't mean you have to eat tofu all the time, but with this recipe in your meatless arsenal, you might just want to. It's an easy take on pad thai and while it's not exactly authentic, it's not takeout either! So give it a try.
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
To make this dish, you'll need rice noodles along with firm tofu and eggs (I'm doubling down on the meatless protein sources today, but if you want to make this vegan, just leave out the egg). You'll also need carrots, garlic, and scallions, plus lime juice, soy sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil for the sauce. Top it off with some peanuts and fresh cilantro, and you've made a dinner that's actually faster than Thai takeout. Watch the video and I'll show you a few tricks for cooking with rice noodles -- they're done before you know it!
