Instructions

Cook the rice noodles according to the instructions, rinse with cold water and set aside.

Slice the tofu into three equal parts and squeeze out as much water as possible with a tea towel. Then cut them into smaller pieces. Season with salt on each side and fry over medium heat for 8 minutes, with a small amount of oil. If you want the tofu to be crunchy, you can coat it in cornstarch before frying. Set it aside.
-
In the same pan, mix the soy sauce, lime juice (or rice vinegar), pad thai and agave syrup. Add the cooked noodles and 2‑3 tablespoons of water so the noodles don't stick to the pan. Then add chopped carrot and fry for a couple of minutes until it's tender. Then add the fried tofu. Mix everything and serve immediately. Top with chopped coriander, roasted peanuts and a slice of lime.
