Our Favourite Vegetarian Pad Thai

We've have been making this Pad Thai recipe for years in many of our classes. It's salty, sweet, spicy and sour - all the flavours that are indicative of Thai cooking. We also like to refer to it as a "clean-out-the-fridge" dish as you can use other vegetables you might have taking up space in your refrigerator. While this recipe uses tofu, feel free to substitute (or add) chicken or shrimp. Transfer to a large platter and top with garnishes.

Tomato Tart
If you don’t have large or heirloom tomatoes, halved cherry tomatoes or sliced cocktail tomatoes will also work here. For the cheese, use any kind you like or a combination. We love gruyère but Comté, Cheddar, asiago, or pecorino could work too. Serve with a green salad, or a sliced fennel salad.

We love them homemade, but you can also purchase them dried.

Anna's Wholegrain Pancakes
Yes, wholegrain pancakes can be fluffy, tender and tasty. Letting the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking your pancakes allows the whole wheat flour and oats to absorb the liquid, which keeps the batter light and delicate. I usually prefer regular rolled oats in baking because they hold their shape and texture, but quick-cooking oats work equally well here because they soak up the liquid quickly and still make a fluffy pancake.
