Delicious Vegan Pad Thai: Flavorful, Fresh, and Healthy!

This Vegan Pad Thai with tofu is a flavorful, low-FODMAP twist on the classic dish. Start by sautéing firm tofu in a hot pan until crispy. Prepare a sauce by mixing tamari (gluten-free soy sauce), lime juice, peanut butter, and a touch of maple syrup for sweetness. In a separate pan, cook rice noodles until tender. Combine the noodles, tofu, and sauce in a large skillet, adding shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and green onions (green tops only for low-FODMAP). Garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime for a fresh, satisfying meal that’s both plant-based and gut-friendly!
