Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce bag of rice noodles
- ¼ cup of veggie broth
- ¼ cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1 lime juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 carrots julienned or in matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper julienned or in matchsticks
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup of bean sprouts optional
- 1 cup of snow peas
- ¼ cup of peanuts chopped
- For serving: lime wedges and fresh parsley or cilantro optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in the pad thai rice noodles. Cook according to the directions on the packaging-- usually about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat for a minute. Next, add the carrots and bell pepper and sauté until the vegetables are softened and start to caramelize-- about 5-7 minutes.
- Next, remove the vegetables to a bowl and add the sauce to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- Add the pad thai noodles, cooked vegetables, green onions, bean sprouts, and snow peas. Toss to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are warmed through.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat and garnish with chopped peanuts, lime, and/or parsley/cilantro and enjoy.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
