Steps:

• Saute the garlic and onion in a large, deep frying pan.
• After a couple minutes, add the tofu and green onion. Let it fry away without stirring.
• After a few more minutes, throw the peanut butter glob in the center and pile on the grated carrot, frozen peas, and mushrooms.
• Put the lemon juice, hot sauce and hoisin sauce on top as well, still without stirring it yet.
• Let everything cook away over a medium heat for another 5 minutes or until the vegetables have reached a nice consistency.
• Give the heap a big stir.
• Soak the rice noodles in boiled water for 5-8 minutes and mix them in well with the fried vegetable mixture.
• Squeeze on a bit more lemon, serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Soak noodles in a large bowl of warm water until softened, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain well in a colander and cover with a dampened paper towel.
• Meanwhile, make sauce by soaking tamarind pulp in boiling-hot water in a small bowl, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Force mixture through a sieve into a bowl, discarding seeds and fibers. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and Sriracha, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
• Cut scallions into 2-inch pieces. Halve pale green and white parts lengthwise.
• Cut shallots crosswise into very thin slices with slicer.
• Rinse tofu, then cut into 1-inch cubes and pat very dry.
• Heat oil in wok over medium heat until hot, then fry half of shallots over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden-brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Carefully strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl. Reserve shallot oil and spread fried shallots on paper towels. (Shallots will crisp as they cool.) Wipe wok clean.
• Reheat shallot oil in wok over high heat until hot. Fry tofu in 1 layer, gently turning occasionally, until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer tofu to paper towels using a slotted spoon. Pour off frying oil and reserve.
• Lightly beat eggs with ¼ teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons shallot oil in wok over high heat until it shimmers. Add eggs and swirl to coat side of wok, then cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until cooked through. Break into chunks with spatula and transfer to a plate.
• Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly. Pour in 6 tablespoons shallot oil, then swirl to coat side of wok. Stir-fry scallions, garlic, and remaining uncooked shallots until softened, about 1 minute.
• Add noodles and stir-fry over medium heat (use 2 spatulas if necessary) 3 minutes. Add tofu, bean sprouts, and 1½ cups sauce and simmer, turning noodles over to absorb sauce evenly, until noodles are tender, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in additional sauce if desired, then stir in eggs and transfer to a large shallow serving dish.
• Sprinkle pad Thai with peanuts and fried shallots and serve with lime wedges, cilantro sprigs, and Sriracha.

Steps:

• In large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. When water boils, add noodles, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in large wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and garlic and stir-fry 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, snow peas and tofu and stir-fry just until tender, about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and lime juice and bring to; simmer. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cooked noodles and cilantro.
• Spoon noodle mixture onto warm plates and garnish with cashews, green onions and bean sprouts.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles following packet instructions. Mix the lime juice, tamarind and chilli sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan or wok and fry the tofu for 5-8 mins, until golden all over. Set aside.
• Add the remaining oil and stir-fry the asparagus until tender. Tip in the spring onions, beansprouts and garlic. Cook for 2 mins more. Stir in the drained noodles, sauce and some salt. Mix in the tofu and heat through. Serve with coriander, salted peanuts and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Soak the dry noodles in a large bowl of warm (90 degrees F/32 degrees C) water for about 1 hour. The noodles will start to absorb water, loosen up and be ready for the pan. If using fresh noodles, you can just open the package and add to the pan at the appropriate time.
• To make the sauce, stir together the soy sauce, tamarind paste, lime juice, sriracha, rice vinegar, palm sugar and 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until the pan gets pretty hot, about 1 minute. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan completely. When the pan just starts to smoke, add the garlic and stir about 5 seconds. Add the tofu and turnip and stir-fry until they begin to get fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the drained noodles and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and paprika if using and fold together until the paprika evenly colors the noodles and all of the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
• Place half the scallions, peanuts and bean sprouts in the center of the noodles, then spoon some noodles over the mixture to cover and let steam for 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with the remaining scallions, peanuts and bean sprouts.

Steps:

• Soak noodles according to package instructions. Drain. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, lime juice, and soy sauce.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add scallion whites and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add eggs (if using) and cook, scraping skillet with a rubber spatula, until eggs are almost set, about 30 seconds. Transfer egg mixture to a plate. Add noodles and soy-sauce mixture to skillet; cook, tossing constantly, until noodles are soft and coated with sauce, about 1 minute. Add egg mixture and toss to coat, breaking eggs up gently. Serve noodles with lime wedges, topped with scallion greens, cilantro, and peanuts.
