Delicious spicy and tangy vegetable Pad Thai you are sure to love.
I love Pad Thai and this Vegetarian Pad Thai is delicious, easy and quite simple to make. It is both sweet, spicy and tangy and guess what? all the ingredients to this recipe can be found at your local grocery market.
For the Sauce:
In most Pad Thai recipes they include fish sauce, however I did not include it in this recipe since it is a vegetarian Pad Thai. Instead I decided to add in a garlic chili paste (sauce). This sauce gives the Pad Thai a kick, it is garlicky, spicy and amazing. But if you do not like your food too spicy you can add less of the sauce.
Tip 1 : Soak rice noodles as directed on box, typically for about 25-30 minutes in hot water. Make sure not to over soak it, this will cause them to break.
Tip 2: If noodles seem a bit dry or sticky, you can just add a little bit more of the low sodium soy sauce and/ or squeeze lime.
Here's How to make it:
