Ingredients

    Sauce:
    Adapted from The Wannabe Chef

    2 tbsp peanut butter
    2 tbsp tamarind paste
    2 tsp soy sauce
    1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
    1/2 tbsp sesame oil
    1/2-1 tsp sriracha (to taste)

    Pad Thai:

    1 package (7 oz) shirataki noodles (can substitute rice noodles)
    1 tbsp vegetable oil
    1 shallot, diced
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 a jalapeno pepper, minced
    ~4 oz firm tofu, crumbled
    2 green onions, minced
    1/2 cup bean sprouts
    Lime wedges and crushed peanuts for serving

Directions

To make the sauce, whisk or stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Drain the shirataki noodles from their package and rinse under cold water. Let the noodles soak in a bowl of water for about 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the crumbled tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the tofu is softened and lightly browned. (You can leave the tofu in larger chunks, or break it up into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon as you cook).

Drain the noodles and add to the skillet. Add the sauce and a splash of water and stir the sauce into the noodles. Once the sauce and noodles are hot, add the green onions and bean sprouts. Stir for about 1 minute, until everything is heated through and coated in the sauce.

Transfer the contents to two plates. Garnish each plate with a handful of crushed peanuts and additional bean sprouts if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
