Perhaps the most classic take-out dish of all time, Pad Thai just gets us. Could it be the succulent rice noodles soaking up the sweet-and-savory sauce? Or the crunchy sprouts and roasted peanuts playing against the soft, stir-fried tofu? Maybe it's the egg that makes this dish feel like a meal that satisfies your every craving. Whatever the case, you'll love our make-at-home version that's every bit as authentic as the original, without weighing you down.

Prepare the Ingredients
Drain tofu, rinse under cold water, and pat dry. Cut into ½" cubes. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Halve lime. Thinly slice green onion at an angle (called a “bias” cut). Chop garlic into thin slivers. Stem cilantro.
-
Cook the Vermicelli
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, remove the pot from the heat, and add the vermicelli. Let the vermicelli soak until tender, about 5 minutes. (Rice vermicelli only needs to be soaked in hot water, instead of boiled.) Drain, pat dry, cut into 3" lengths, and return to the pot.
-
Make the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together juice of the lime, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 tsp. of sambal to taste (sambal can be spicy), ⅔ of green onion (reserving a pinch for garnish), and chopped garlic. Place the sauce in the pot with the cooked noodles, ensuring even coating, and let sit and marinate while you cook the eggs.
-
Cook the Eggs
Heat a large pan and 1 tsp. olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the liquid egg, stirring constantly until light and fluffy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
-
Finish the Pad Thai
Heat the same pan that you cooked the eggs in over medium heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and tofu and cook for 1 minute or until warm. When warmed, add the vermicelli, sauce, and eggs, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes until warmed throughout.
-
Plate the Dish
Place the Pad Thai in a bowl, ensuring an even portion of tofu, eggs, and vermicelli. Garnish with bean sprouts, peanuts, cilantro leaves, and remaining sambal and green onions. Serve with chopsticks.
