Peanut Butter Pad Thai Style Noodles

When my favourite tofu Pad Thai meets peanut buttery noodles itโ€™s a combination that keeps you coming back for more.

Soft noodles wrapped in the tangy creamy peanut butter sauce with crispy onion, crunchy carrot, itโ€™s a bowl bursting with flavour and textures that have me honestly mouth-watering and tummy rumbling as I type this. The recipe was made using Irish brand, LifeForce Peanut butter.
