Katie's Kid-Friendly Pad Thai

Uh, so this is my new favorite meal. It is so delicious. And I was excited that it's vegetarian. I first had this at a good friend's baby shower-potluck.

1 Tbsp sesame oil

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 lb tofu, diced (or shrimp)

2 Tbsp tamari (increase this slightly)

1/3 C peanut butter (decrease this slightly)

1/4 C honey

1/8-1/4 C water

1 1/2 tsp brown rice vinegar (increase this slightly)

1 large sweet red pepper, finely diced

1 small-medium zucchini, finely diced

1/4 C peanuts, coarsely chopped

1/2 lb dry linguine, cooked

optional: chives, lime juice

Saute tofu, with salt and pepper to taste, in sesame oil until brown.  Add garlic towards the end.  (~10 minutes)  Mix tamari, peanut butter, honey, and vinegar.  Add water to thin.  Pour 1/2 of the sauce in pan with tofu, add vegetables and cook 3-5 minutes.  Add to cooked pasta, toss, and add rest of sauce and chopped peanuts.  Sprinkle with chives and fresh lime juice.
