Crispy Tofu Pad Thai
“I am a sucker for a pad Thai. I know it’s predictable, but I can’t seem to bypass it on a menu. This version brings together all the things I love about it; crispy tofu, lots of greens, a tamarind heavy-sauce, roasted peanuts, and crispy onion, as in my mind, a pad Thai is pointless without them.” – Anna Jones
