- Crush peanuts in a mortar and pestle until they split or break into small pieces.
Step 2:
- Saute garlic until fragrant in hot oil, add onions and stir-fry briefly.
- Stir-fry tofu until onions are almost cooked, then pour in the tamarind sauce, soy sauce, and palm sugar, mix well.
Step 3:
- Once the seasonings have dissolved, add the noodles to continue stir-frying. Remember to stir thoroughly to allow the noodles to absorb the flavors, add water if necessary.
- Add bean sprouts and chives, stir for about 2 - 3 minutes until the bean sprouts are cooked through, then turn off the heat.
- Serve Pad Thai on a plate, sprinkle roasted peanuts on top, optionally garnish with cilantro. Squeeze lime over the dish, mix well, and enjoy while still hot.
