 Recipe Vegan Phad See Ew

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound wide rice noodles

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional)

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts

  • 1/4 cup bean sprouts

  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions

  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 16 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  2. Crumble the tofu into small pieces. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the tofu and toss to coat. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the pan. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, until fragrant.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamarind paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, chili garlic sauce (if using), and 1/4 cup of water.

  5. Pour the sauce over the onion and garlic and stir to coat.

  6. Add the cooked noodles, tofu, cilantro, peanuts, bean sprouts, scallions, Sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine.

  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, or until heated through.

  8. Serve immediately with additional cilantro and peanuts, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a spicier Phad See Ew, add more chili garlic sauce or Sriracha.

  • If you don't have tamarind paste, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.

  • You can also add other vegetables to this Phad See Ew, such as carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers.

  • Serve with a side of lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips for cooking tofu:

  • Drain and press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. This will help the tofu to brown evenly and become crispy on the outside.

  • Cut the tofu into small pieces so that it will cook evenly.

  • Coat the tofu in cornstarch before cooking. This will help to create a crispy crust.

  • Cook the tofu in a hot skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the tofu will steam instead of brown.

  • Stir the tofu occasionally as it cooks.

  • Cook the tofu until it is golden brown on all sides.

  • Do not overcook the tofu, or it will become dry and rubbery.

Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Vegan Phad See Ew. It is a delicious and easy dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Chaya (tree spinach) - ผักชายา (phak cha-ya) - Cnidoscolus aconitifolius

Chaya, also known as tree spinach, is a fast-growing plant that's relatively easy to cultivate. Chaya spinach is an understory species in forests and as such is ideal grown in shade under fruit trees or palms. You can grow chaya from stem cuttings. Take stem cuttings with a few nodes (bumps where leaves grow) and plant them directly in the ground or pots with moist, well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during the first few weeks after planting. Established plants are somewhat drought tolerant but will produce more leaves with consistent moisture. Chaya is a fast grower and may benefit from occasional pruning to maintain a manageable size and encourage bushier growth. Don't remove more than two-thirds of the foliage at once. You can harvest young, tender chaya leaves throughout the growing season. Simply pick the leaves from the stems. The plant will likely be ready for its first harvest after less than a year.
