- 200g firm tofu, cubed

- 100g rice noodles, cooked
- 45ml (3 tbsp) salted peanuts, chopped
- 1 (25g) spring onion, chopped

METHOD
SAUCE
Combine the coconut milk, Roasted Macadamia Nut butter, Sriracha sauce, Macadamia oil, miso, soy and vinegar in saucepan and cook, 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the coriander.
PAD THAI
Heat the Macadamia oil in a pan over high heat. Add the tofu and fry for 1 minute on each side until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper. Add more Macadamia oil to the hot pan and fry the mushrooms off until tender, 2-3 minutes. Season lightly.
Toss the cooked noodles through the warm sauce and spoon into the serving dish. Add the tofu and mushrooms and scatter the peanuts, spring onions and micro herbs, if using, on top.
TIP: If preferred, the tofu can be replaced with fried tempeh instead.
TIP: The sauce will thicken on standing. Simply re-heat it with a splash of hot water to thin it out again.
