-            2tbsp unrefined sugar (e.g. coconut.)

-            1tbsp Kindness Chilli Jam.

-            40ml water.

Noodles

-            ½ pack thin Thai rice noodles (e.g. 3mm size).

Protein

-            ½ block of extra firm tofu cut into small cubes.

Vegetables

-            Traditionally, Thai people would use only: bean sprouts, Chinese chives, spring onion or shallots.

-            You can definitely use whatever seasonal vegetables you have access too.

-            Try ½ cup measurements of each vegetable you use.

For cooking

-            2tbsp preferred cooking oil.

-            ¼ to ½ cup water.

Garnish

-            Crushed peanuts.

-            1 wedge of lemon.

Sauce

1.      Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a pan. Slowly bring to a boil. Make sure not to burn the sauce. Set aside.

Noodles

1.      Soak noodles in water at room-temperature. This will make the noodles flexible, which is better than soft.

Protein

1.      Cut tofu into small cubes.

Vegetables

1.      Cut into bit size pieces (e.g. 2.5cm).

Cooking

1.      Heat a wok if available, a large pan otherwise, and add oil.

2.      Add vegetables and tofu, stir. Push ingredients to the side of the wok/pan.

3.      Add drained rice noodles, stir quickly to prevent sticking.

4.      Add a few tbsp of your Pad Thai sauce.

5.      If the noodles are still a bit hard, add a small amount of water and continue to cook.

6.      Add more sauce, shallots and bean sprouts. Stire a few times until all the ingredients are coated in the sauce.

7.      Taste, adjust as needed, and plate up.

8.      Add your garnish. Pad Thai will taste best if you eat it immediately after cooking. Aroi!

Servings: 2

 

The key to a great Pad Thai recipe is to have the proper balance of sweet, salty, sour and spicy flavours. You may like your Pad Thai sourer than sweeter and not spicy or vice versa. Please feel free to add or reduce all the sauce ingredients suggested.

 

Make extra and keep the sauce in a refrigerator for future use.

(VEGAN) THAI FISH (TOFU) CAKES USING OUR RED CURRY PASTE AND CHILLI JAM

Fish (Tofu) Cakes

-            1 block (450g) firm tofu, cut to about 20 pieces.

-            2-3 tbsp Kindness Cafe red curry paste.

-            1 tsp unrefined sugar (e.g. coconut).

-            2 tbsp tapioca flour (dilute with 2 tbsp of water, mix well).

-            ⅓ cup corn flour

-            ½ cup snake beans if you can get them, or green beans, slice thinly.

-            4-5 kaffir lime leaves, very finely sliced.

-            1 tbsp tamari as needed (taste mixture before adding).

-            Preferred cooking oil (to coat bottom of frying pan and to coat the cakes – we like extra virgin olive oil). Note: you can just as easily bake these in the oven.

Accompanying sauce

-            Our Kindness Chilli Jam. Simple as that!

1.      Crumble tofu in a mixing bowl. Alternatively, you can use a food processor/blender. We just love making these by hand.

2.      Add in our red curry paste, kaffir lime leaves, and sliced beans.

3.      Season with the unrefined sugar if you wish, and the tamari if you think it needs it.

4.      Slowly add the corn flour and the diluted tapioca while mixing. Do this until the mixture is firm enough to hold shape in your hands (if you are using a food processor/blender, lift the lid and have a feel).

5.      Taste for salt and spiciness. Add more of our red curry paste for stronger curry flavour.

6.      Coat your hands (or gloves if you prefer to wear them) with some of your preferred cooking oil, and form the mixture into cakes.

7.      Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add your cooking oil. Cook the cakes until they are golden and heated through.

8.      Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain – remember you can bake these in the oven instead of frying! Try 20 minutes at 200 degrees.

9.      Serve on a big plate and dollop 1tsp of our chilli jam on each of the cakes. Arroi!

This recipe is really simple to make, super healthy and delicious! It will make about 12-13 cakes.
