So excited for this one. I've been wanting to make it for a while so I ran to the market today to grab the last few ingredients. The picture below is deceiving because a couple of the ingredients are missing and I forgot to put away the coconut milk I bought, so that's on there for some reason.
Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil
- Firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (I used half of a normal block)
- Sliced baby portobello mushrooms, about a cup, chopped
- Two small sweet peppers, sliced
- Two green onions, chopped and separated into greens and whites
- Spinach, about two cups
- Vegetable stock, 1/3 to 1/2 cup
- Soy sauce, 1/4 cup
- Brown sugar, two tablespoons
- Cilantro, one cup, chopped
- Lime, about the juice of a half a lime
- Dry roasted, no salt peanuts, about 1/3 cup, chopped
- Peanut butter, one tablespoon
- Rice noodles, about 8 ounces, half of the Thai Kitchen box I have in the pic
- Ginger, grated, about a teaspoon
- Two cloves of garlic, minced
- One carrot, shredded
- One tablespoon of chili paste, I used sambal oelek
- Bean sprouts, about a cup
I think thats it. If I think of anything else, I'll mention it along the way.
I made the rice noodles to specifications, which says to boil the water, turn it off, and then put the noodles in and let sit for about 8 minutes. Then I drained and rinsed with cool water to stop the cooking.
Then, I heated some veg oil in a wok until very hot. Added the tofu and some salt and pepper (forgot those in the ingredient list, but those should be in everything). Sautéed for about 6 or 7 minutes until browned on all sides. Then I put the cooked tofu in a bowl and set aside.
I brought the oil back up to temp and added the carrot, mushrooms, white parts of the green onions and sautéed for just a minute. Then added the minced garlic and grated ginger with the chili paste. Cooked for another 30 seconds then added the spinach, and a mixture of the soy sauce, veg stock, peanut butter, lime juice, and sugar.
Sautéed that on high until the spinach was wilted. Then I added the tofu back in and the rice noodles along with the bean sprouts, cilantro, and green parts of the green onions and mixed it all to heat it all through.
Then, I topped it all with more cilantro, green onion, and some chopped peanuts. Nom nom!
