Adria's Pad Thai

The other night I was able to observe, first hand, Adria's method of making pad thai. I am recording in here, in hopes that I will remember how it was done and be able to make some myself.
1. Rice noodles. Pour boiling water over them to soften. Drain.

2. Cut up tofu into bite-sized chunks. Marinate a little in soy sauce (and salt). Cook in the wok with a little oil until starting to get crispy on the edges.

3. Once the tofu is cooked, crack and scramble a couple eggs and pour them into the wok to cook.

4. Meanwhile, pour the "pad thai sauce" (which can be purchased at the Mega) over the noodles and mix to coat.

5. Add the noodles to the tofu and egg, along with chopped green onions or chives and bean sprouts. Toss to mix and cook.

6. Serve with lime juice, cilantro, and peanuts. And chopsticks.
