Directions
This dish might look messy, but is a real delight: the creaminess of peanut butter, the juiciness of tomatoes, and the heat of chilli pepper paste will give that unique addictive flavour that’s typical of Thai cuisine.
To prepare it, cook the noodles in abundant hot water. Then, stir-fry the tofu in a casserole. Add the diced vegetables and cook until tender. Finally, add the peanut butter, tomato sauce, and chilli pepper paste. Mix well and add the noodles. Cook for a couple more minutes, folding the vegetables into the noodles.
Finally, take off the heat, sprinkle with some cashew nuts and serve.
Enjoy hot!
