Peanuts, without skin, roasted, unsalted

2 tbs, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Place noodles in a large bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover. Stand for 3 minutes or until noodles are almost softened. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add capsicum, onion, and carrots and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are tender crisp. Add cabbage and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute or until fragrant. In a small cup, stir together fish sauce, soy sauce, tamarind puree and sugar. Add to pan and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add noodles and tofu and cook, tossing gently to combine, for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
  3. Remove pan from heat. Add sriracha and toss gently. Divide noodle mixture among 6 shallow bowls. Sprinkle evenly with eggs, coriander and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

TIP: The tamarind puree brings authentic tang to this sweet and sour dish. Look for it in the Asian aisle of the supermarket.
