Cook the Pad Thai
Cook the rice noodles according to package. Set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and fry the tofu until crispy. Add rice noodles, bean sprouts, and Chinese chives and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.
Add 2~3 tbsp of peanut sauce, and stir to combine. (Keep the rest of the sauce in the refrigerator. It makes a great dipping sauce, or thin it out with water for a salad dressing)
Serve with lime wedges, crushed peanuts, or chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
