What is Pad Thai?
Pad Thai is a popular Thai dish that consists of stir-fried rice noodles, eggs, peanuts, and other ingredients. It is one of the most popular dishes in Thailand and has become a global favorite. The dish is served with fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to give it a unique flavor. Pad Thai can also be served with seafood or meat for added flavor. It is an easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger meal.

How to make vegan Pad Thai
Veganize by substituting “Just egg” (vegan egg alternative) using tamari instead of fish sauce, and use tofu or mushrooms instead of seafood and fish. Make sure you got lots of herbs like scallions and cilantro to add some refreshing feel to the dish. Soak rice noodles for 10 minutes before cooking in boiling water. For the sauce I used bachans, vinegar and sugar. Used alfalfa sprouts instead of bean sprouts. Feel free to modify and get creative.







Steps
- Soak noodles for 10 minutes, cook in boiling water for 5 minutes. Run through cold water.
