Preparation

Note: If using Cauldron Authentic Tofu block 396g press for 30 minutes. See the Cauldron website for tips and tricks or as per back-of-pack instructions.

Method

1. Make the curry paste by combining all the ingredients and blitz.

2. Cut the tofu into planks and coat with the Pad Thai paste leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

3. Heat the oil in the frying pan or wok add the tofu pieces and cook until golden brown (approximately 3-4 minutes). Remove from the pan and reserve.

4. Add the garlic, chilli and red onion and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is tender. Then keeping the heat high, add the tofu pieces back to the pan.

5. Pour over the soy sauce and the lime juice, then stir this for just a few seconds before adding the noodles. Toss them around for 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through.

6. Mix in half the garnish and stir, serve with the rest of the garnish sprinkled over.
