Ingredients:

• 200g firm tofu, cubed
• 150g rice noodles
• 100g carrots, julienned
• 100g red bell pepper, sliced
• 50g bean sprouts
• 50g green onions, chopped
• 30g peanuts, chopped
• a handful of fresh cilantro
• 30ml olive oil
• 30ml lime juice
• 15ml soy sauce
• 10ml sriracha
• 8 taco shells

Kitchen Tools:

• cutting board
• knife
• wok
• vegetable peeler
• tongs

• mixing bowl

To start, heat olive oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the wok and set aside.

In the same wok, add the carrots and red bell pepper. Cook until slightly softened, then add the cooked rice noodles, bean sprouts, and green onions. Mix well to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, and sriracha. Pour this sauce over the noodle mixture in the wok and stir until everything is evenly coated.

To assemble the tacos, spoon the tofu pad thai mixture into each taco shell. Top with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of extra lime juice for a burst of freshness.

Unique Tip:

For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a spoonful of Thai red curry paste to the sauce mixture before adding it to the noodles.

This recipe makes 8 tofu pad thai tacos, with each serving weighing approximately 150g. Each taco is around 250 calories, making it a satisfying and flavorful meal option.
