Today I was badly craving 'Phad Thai' but did not have all the ingredients, so decided to make a salad style, with whatever was available. Checked my fridge and found tofu, carrots and cauliflower. From my garden I picked some fresh coriander and spring onions. Added a few other assorted ingredients and a delicious noodles salad was ready! It turned out really nice and we relished it with mixed berry juice.
Ingredients: 1 cup boiled noodles, 1 tsp chopped garlic, 1 cup assorted veggies (I had only carrots and cauliflower but beans, capsicum, broccoli or any other veggies could be used) cut length wise, 1/2 cup cut tofu/paneer, 1/2 cup well roasted and crushed peanuts, 1 tbsp tamarind pulp, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and chilli flakes as per taste, fresh coriander and spring onion leaves for garnishing.
Method: Heat 1 tbsp oil, fry garlic and add the vegetables, stir fry for a couple of minutes, add tofu and mix, add tamarind pulp, sugar, salt, chilli flakes and mix well. Turn off the fire. Add noodles, half peanuts, lime juice, half coriander and spring onion leaves, remaining olive oil and toss well. Leave it aside for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Before serving heat in the microwave for 2 minutes and garnish with remaining coriander and spring onion leaves, and peanuts. Dig in!
