Pad Thai

Okay, so this isn’t completely traditional pad thai. So what? It’s close enough and it’s tasty!

Ingredients:
frozen vegetables (I used what I had on hand – about 200 g broccoli, 50 g corn, 50 g broad beans)
oil
1 block tofu (if desired)
lime leaves
2 tbsp peanut butter (or 50 g crushed peanuts)
2 eggs
300 g pad thai noodles
bean sprouts (I didn’t have them on hand this time, but I’ve often added them at the end)

Instructions:
1. Stir-fry the vegetables in the oil in a big frying pan or wok. Add the tofu (cut into cubes), if you’re using it, and the lime leaves.
2. When the vegetables have defrosted, mix in the peanut butter (or peanuts) and push the veg to one side. Break the eggs into the middle and stir them, so they scramble into pieces.
3. Add the noodles and cook for about 2 more minutes. Add the bean sprouts.
4. Serve.
