Recepie of the famous PHAD THAI by Ben (USA)

Ingredients:
1 can cocunut milk
3 deciliters peanut butter (about half a jar)
1 deciliter garlic vinegar
1 package rice noodles 
1 brick firm tofu
1 package peanuts
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 head broccoli 
2 sweet peppers
Hot chili oil
Sesame oil
Vegetable oil
Hot pepper sauce

Optional:
bean sprouts (great on top, not necessary though)
brown rice (good on the side)

Chop the peanuts and cut the tofu into medium cubes.  Put some of each oil (to taste) in a wok (or similar frying pan) and heat it up to medium high. Toss in the peanuts, tofu, and finely chopped onion/garlic. Fry in the oil, tossing every two minutes, until the tofu is firm and brown and the peanuts are well cooked. 

During this, prepare the noodles as specified on the package. Clean and cut the broccoli into bite sized chunks and chop the peppers into small pieces.  Toss these in the water with the noodles to soften them.  

When the tofu and peanuts are looking well cooked, pour in the coconut milk. Stir until the coconut milk is hot, and then spoon in the  peanut butter. Lower the heat and let it cook until the peanut butter has melted through and the sauce starts to thicken. 

Then mix the sauce/tofu with the noodles/vegetables and add vinegar/hot pepper sauce to taste. Extra sauce can be set aside and used as a dressing for a delicious side salad!
