Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the rice noodles in room-temperature water for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and tamarind paste. Whisk together over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Set the sauce aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan or wok over high heat. Add peanut oil, scallions, chiles, and garlic. Stir and cook until the scallions soften.
- Incorporate the carrots into the pan, stirring them for about 1 minute. Then add the bean sprouts and continue stirring.
- Add the soaked rice noodles to the pan and stir to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Heat the noodles through for 1-2 minutes.
- Combine the sauce with the ingredients in the pan, stirring well.
- Add the tofu to the pan, stirring to incorporate it. Remove the pan from the heat.
- If desired, garnish with peanuts, bean sprouts, scallions, and red chiles.
- Serve the dish immediately and enjoy!
