We all love this dish…PAD THAI! It is the best. I use tofu here and this is a great way to switch up your usual “go-to” meal. Give it a try! This is yummy and you could add cilantro too but I usual don’t have it, so I skipped it. Give yourself some time to drain the tofu. This will get it to the crispy texture you will be wanting. It is all about the fresh flavors and don’t forget the peanuts and lime wedges!
