Ingredients:: 10
Serves:: 4

ingredients

8 ounces firm tofu
¹⁄₂ eggplant
¹⁄₂ onion
4 garlic cloves
1 dash red peppers or 1 dash cayenne
16 ounces rice noodles
¹⁄₄ cup peanut sauce
¹⁄₄ cup peanuts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup cooked broccoli

directions

Put water on to boil according to rice noodle directions.
Food prep: Slice tofu into bite sized pieces, cut eggplant into bite sized pieces, dice onion & mince garlic.
In a large skillet, add EVOO, garlic and onions. Allow to cook for 2 minutes to soften.
Add tofu, eggplant, brocoli, spice & enough peanut sauce to coat (this should all simmer for about five minutes).
When noodles are finished, add noodles to mix and toss in peanuts and/or cashews as well as more peanut sauce if needed to coat.
Bon apetit!
*I use the microwave bags of brocoli to keep from dirtying another dish. Also, my husband likes chicken in his, so I will sometimes cook a chicken breast in the EVOO before preparing the meal and then slice that up to add to his bowl.

Delicious! It was very easy to make and was very tasty. I missed the broccoli in the recipe (oops!) so I substituted shredded cabbage. Also, I can't find rice noodles in my town so I used homemade whole wheat linguini. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. This will be a regular recipe in my house.

Fantastic!!! My hubby loves Thai food and I've never made it before. This was so easy! I did substitute 2 jalapeños for the chili because I needed to use them and it came out great. I also added strips of flat iron steak. If I make this again I will double the broccoli - I love the veggies and maybe add something mildly sweet. Thanks for an easy recipe for Thai lovers!
