2 limes, one juiced and one cut into wedges or half moons
1/2 cup canned tamarind paste (look for "cooking tamarind" rather than sweet tamarind) or 1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate in 1/4 cup water and the juice of one lime
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground dried chilies (more to taste)
2 shallots, minced
1/3 cup agavé syrup
3 tablespoons tamari
1 package Thai rice noodles (1/4"-wide flat noodles)
2 tablespoons veg. oil
8 green onions, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 2/3 cups bean sprouts (half will be cooked and half used for garnish)
1 large carrot, cut into 1" x 1/2" x 1/8" thick (or whatever small size you want)
2 cups broccoli, cut small (I'm sure I used much more than 2 cups. Who measures broccoli?)
8 ounces firm tofu, small cubes (optional)
1/3 cup chopped peanuts, toasted (best if you toast them yourself but pre-toasted will do)
