oops I put my comments about the banana oat waffle recipe on this recipe by mistake….sorry!
Very tasty and my husband who is vegan and sort of but not completely wfpb liked it as well and said he’d eat it again. We got about 3 tsps of lemon zest from our lemon so added all of it to the batter. The first couple of waffles were dense…still good but quite dense so I added a bit more almond milk to the last of the batter and it was much fluffier so I’ll add more milk next time I make them. I’m also thinking I might add blueberries to the batter next time since they complement lemons so well.
I accidentally added these comments to a dufeent recipe if you add soy sauce or braggs aminos, grated or sliced ginger and some hot sauce to the peanut mixture it will be much tastier. Also you can use sweet potato starch noodles if you’re gluten free. I buy mine from 99Ranch online as my area doesn’t have south Asian groceries in our stores
Brown rice middle are gluten free ☺️
This was terrible. I don’t know what went wrong. Followed recipe. Noodles were a weird texture, so was the tofu. Slimy almost. Flavor was off…. Did not taste like restaurant quality pad thai. I am not used to it being this spicy, but otherwise extremely bland. Probably won’t make this one again.
Please stop saying “silken” tofu for your recipes that need firm tofu. This is confusing for people who don’t know the difference.
Recipe is good. Left out the carrots and added peanuts to sprinkle on top.
Thank you for the clarification I was confused!
Just wondering if Halloumi can be used instead of tofu? I have used it for veggie tacos and enjoy the flavour although it is salty.
Forks Over Knives is a 100% plant-based meal organization so, understandably, they will not recommend Halloumi (cheese) for that reason.
i will try this recipe for sure, but if i understand well these amounts of ingredients give 9 servings?
It always confuses me, because FOK’s recipes don’t give # of servings. Rather, they give the volume or quantity for the recipe. E.g., they say that this recipe yields 9 cups but they don’t say how many servings that is. I guess they’re leaving it up to us how much of each recipe to eat and to serve?
I would add extra lime wedges for serving along with a sprinkle of peanuts. Otherwise this was fantastic! quick and delish!
Thank you!
allergic to peanuts
then obviously this isn’t for you (SMH)
Could you please post Anne Essylstens recipe for peanut sauce made with PB2 for those who can’t use regular peanut butter?
I can’t print recipes from my iPhone.
I’m new to WFPB and I think this recipe is very good! I tried it with and without the raw vegetables on the top and like it best without.
Oh and I just used an extra firm tofu. Not the silken type
Recipe tasted great
Didn’t read it all the way through
Would have saved time boiling the noodles first
It was yummy
For those who don’t want tofu, I would suggest keeping a legume in the recipe for their nutritional advantage. Take a can of rinsed and drained (or cooked) white beans and whir/blend into the sauce itself. Adding rinsed and chopped/shred jackfruit would be great texture.
What vegetables would you substitute for the mixed frozen vegetables?
I would use broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Or really, any veggie.
Can we use jackfruit instead of tofu?
Thank you for the wonderful recipes!
This sounds delicious! For health reasons I was told not to eat tofu.
Can the tofu be substituted.?
This sounds delicious but was told not to eat tofu for health reasons. Thank you.
Why would anyone be told not to eat tofu unless they were allergic to it?
I would think you could use any vegetable, or simply leave it out.
Easy prep. I doubled the red pepper flakes and Thai chili for extra spice. Delicious!
How many servings is this recipe? It’s hard to judge how to modify when cooking for one and trying for a reasonable amount of leftovers.
The recipe says it makes 9 cups. I could very easily eat 1.5 cups on my own, or 2 cups if I were very hungry. So… about 6 moderate-sized servings I would guess? You could halve it if you’re cooking for one and see how that goes. Plant-based resources (as you probably know) often don’t give traditional serving sizes and other info because the theory is to just eat to satisfaction a variety of foods, mostly plants and you’ll be set (in consultation with a plant-based physician).
