In reply to Art. You can, and I sometimes do, use tofu in place ot eh soy curls or chickpeas. Use the same amount as those if subbing. I use hi-protein extra fime so I don't have to press, but pressed tofu ref or firm will work fine.

Your instructions state “I like to remove the broccoli and/or tofu or other addition with tongs…”, but there’s no tofu listed in the ingredients. If this is not a typo, how much and what type (i.e. firm, extra-firm) of tofu should be used?

In reply to Nicola. You could use tofu or tempeh - even seitan or jackfruit if you wanted too.

In the ingredients, you have a list of options: “½ (4-oz ) package soy curls, reconstituted and drained (or 3 cups cooked chickpeas, 3 cups edamame or 3 cups, optional” what was the last optional ingredient? I see another reader read the blank space as tofu, which seems reasonable, but is that what you meant to write?

I agree with the 3 star rating, but for different reasons–I thought the flavor was great, but cooking in the instant pot just did it in. The noodles were all stuck together in hard clumps, and the soy curls didn’t seem as well cooked as they should have been. There was also some burnt sauce on the bottom of the pan, although it was easy enough to clean up. I think I will continue to make this recipe on the stovetop, although it’s a little disappointing since the ease of throwing everything in the instant pot was a big draw.

Kathy, this is delicious! I adapted it for the stovetop, and I doubled the sauce (and made it in the Vitamix, replacing the sugar with dates, for anyone out there who is also avoiding refined sugar). My husband always orders the Pad Thai when we find ourselves at a Thai restaurant, and he said this is both the best Pad Thai he’s ever had and the best dinner I’ve ever made for him. And he’s not even vegan. 🙂

I would give this 3 stars. The flavor is pretty good( not amazing), but some of the noodles stuck in hard lumps. The broccoli was way over cooked and mushy, even after removing from the pot immediately. If I made it again I would cook the broccoli separately. The recipe does not mention, but there was liquid left over after pressure release, however that absorbed in about 5 minutes.

This looks fantastic! I assume the noodles are dry/uncooked when you add them? Also, I think you meant to write three cups TOFU after the soy curls, chickpeas, or edamame. Gonna try this soon!
