A hearty, versatile, plant-based dish with tons of texture, protein, and big flavor! Pad thai is a beloved street food dish in Thailand. It's a stir-fried noodle dish made with a sweet-sour-umami sauce of tamarind, fish sauce, and palm sugar, and it usually includes vegetables with the addition of a protein like tofu, shrimp, or chicken. Add noodles and sauce and toss to combine.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have padthai tofu using 15 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

This classic Thai dish lends itself well to substitutions. Double the agave nectar for a sweeter version or add more red pepper flakes to spice it up. We call for flavored, baked tofu, but you can also use plain extra firm tofu. I have been searching the past couple of months for a great Pad Thai recipe, so that I could introduce my husband to the dish.
Instructions to make Padthai Tofu:
- Soak the noodles in a large bowl with hot water. Leave it for about 10 min so they start to soften.
- Mix the Padthai sauce base together in a small saucepan. Put the heat on medium heat and stir until sugar dissolve and sauce become a little thicker for about 8-10 min.
- On a big pan or wok, medium heat, add cooking oil in, garlic and stir well
- Chopped up tofu into chunk side and add into your wok. Cook for 1 or 2 minute until the tofu crisp up.
- Add noodle into the same pan along with Padthai sauce, put 1-2 crushed peanut in, add some fish sauce or sugar or tamarind if needed and taste. Padthai should taste sweet, sour, salty and nutty. Stir well for about 10-15 min or until noodles cooked through.
- Move your noodles on one side of the wok, add 1 tbsp of cooking oil and add some eggs in. Leave eggs to cook through for a few minutes before mix through with the noodles. Stir well, then add half of bean sprouts and crushed peanut if you prefer.
- Serve this delicious Padthai noodles with a wedge of lime and chilli flakes. You can have bean sprouts on the side too for an extra crunch.
We call for flavored, baked tofu, but you can also use plain extra firm tofu.
