How to Prepare Quick Tofu Pad Thai [Vegan]

Prepare the sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients to a jar or bowl and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
Cook the noodles according to the package's instructions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook for 5 minutes or until lightly golden on one side. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the prepared sauce and the bean sprouts. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth or water to the pan, 1-2 tablespoons at a time if needed to prevent the noodles from sticking to the pan.
Divide into 4 bowls and top with sliced green onions and crushed peanuts. Enjoy!

Notes

- This dish is best served immediately. You can still enjoy leftovers, but the noodles may stick together as they cool. - You could replace the brown sugar with coconut sugar if preferred.
