Ingredients

• 200 grams rice noodles
• 400 grams extra firm tofu
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 150 grams broccoli
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 large egg
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. Thinly slice the broccoli, and cut the carrot into thin julienne slices. Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced broccoli and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs lightly, then mix with the vegetables.

Step 8

Add the drained rice noodles, cooked tofu, and sauce mixture to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to coat the noodles and ingredients in the sauce.

Step 9

Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

Step 10

Sprinkle with black pepper and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your high protein Pad See Ew!
