Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shirataki Tofu Pad Thai.
Step 1
Begin by soaking the shirataki noodles in a bowl of hot water, allowing them to soften while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 2
In a skillet heated over medium flame, pour in the vegetable oil and add the tofu.
Step 3
Sautรฉ the tofu, stirring occasionally, until it achieves a delightful golden-brown hue, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, transfer the tofu to a plate, but keep the skillet warm.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, peanut butter, and sriracha.
Step 6
Heat this mixture in the microwave for roughly 20 seconds, just enough for the peanut butter to melt, then whisk until smooth and well blended.
Step 7
Return to the skillet and scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 8
Introduce the mushrooms and the previously cooked tofu to the eggs, then drizzle in half of your luscious peanut sauce, stirring to combine all the flavors.
Step 9
Drain the shirataki noodles and add them to the skillet, followed by the remaining peanut sauce and a generous 1/4 cup of chopped cashews.
Step 10
Mix everything thoroughly, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken beautifully.
Step 11
Once ready, transfer this vibrant noodle medley to a serving bowl, garnishing with the remaining cashews, fresh bean sprouts, and zesty lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 12
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings together a symphony of textures and tastes!.
