Cassidy' pad thai with tofu

This was the first time for me to use tofu and it was actually good!

1 bunch of scallions (using all of the scallion)
4 cloves of garlic
1 package of hard tofu
rice noodles
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp.asian chili sauce
1/2 tbsp. asian chili paste
4 limes
cilantro

Pan saute the garlic in oil for about 5 minutes. Chop up the scallions and add them when the garlic is beginning to brown. Chop up the tofu and add, immediately add soy sauce, chili sauce, chili paste, squeeze in the juice of two limes. Let all of that simmer, add oil or soy sauce (or any of the other ingredients!) to taste. Boil up the noodles and mix it all together. Garnish with cilantro and squeeze more lime juice on the individual servings. 

*note: I made this up, so I don't know if it is traditional pad thai. I have also made it with ground pork instead of tofu and that was really good too! I was really excited because the tofu tasted so good!
