Vegan Pad Thai and Sushi Rolls

My gals love sushi, but only if they get to make it. I love it no matter what! I chop all the ingredients they may want inside their sushi rolls and they fill it up and roll it. They have so much fun making the rolls and eat so many veggies. Another favorite dish of mine is pad thai (vegan of course). Both of these recipes scared me at first, but after a couple you tube videos I feel like a pro!

Vegan Pad Thai

• 1 pound Asian-style rice noodles
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 2 tbsp hot sauce
• 1/4 cup sugar (i used coconut sugar)
  
• 1 block tofu, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 1/4 cup chopped or crushed peanuts (optional)
• 4 green onions (scallions), sliced

Preparation:

Cook noodles according to package instructions.

Whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, hot sauce and sugar.

In a large wok or skillet, sautee the tofu, onion and garlic in sesame oil for a minute or two, stirring frequently. Allow to cook for another minute or two.

Add the cooked noodles and the peanut butter and soy sauce mixture. Stir well, and allow sauce to thicken as it cooks for about 3 minutes. Top with peanuts, bean sprouts and green onions and serve hot.
