Vegetarian/Vegan Pad Thai

Today's recipe is a vegetarian/vegan Pad Thai. Pad Thai is one of the most popular Thai dishes and is available in almost every Asian restaurant. It may look intimidating but is actually quiet easy to make. So I'm going to write the recipe below, one or two changes may be needed to ensure the dish is Vegan.

 

Ingredients:

• 8oz of rice noodles
• 1 cup of roasted peanuts
• Loads of  mixed stir fry veg (beansprouts, cabbage etc.)
• 1/4 cup of lime juice
• 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce 
• 2 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 1 fresh chili no seeds
• 4 spring onions
• 2 x eggs
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 lime to slice

Method:

• Follow the instructions on your rice noodles. Most have to be left sitting in boiling water for about 15 mins, some are straight to wok. 
• Mix the soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar & sweet chili sauce in a bowl.
• Cut your spring onions lengthways and then in half. Using some spray oil fry your garlic, chili and spring onions in a pan.
• Once they have softened add in the mixed stir fry veg and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Chop up your peanuts and add them into the pan, fry for another 5-10 minutes.
• Skip this step if you are vegan but add in the 2 eggs, mix together with your vegetables and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add in the rice noodles and the dressing you made earlier with the lime, soy etc.
• Toss everything together and cook until everything is warmed through.
• Serve with a wedge lime.
• Enjoy!
