Pad Thai

If you're looking to mix up your week night dinners, I've got you covered!

Spicy Pad Thai

I absolutely LOVE Thai food, so I am constantly trying new recipes, tweaking ingredients and playing around with flavors. After much trial and error, I have finally found a Pad Thai recipe that is simple and so good, you'll mistake it for takeout! I prepare this meal vegetarian style, but you could definitely add beef, chicken or shrimp to bulk it up!
Vegetarian, Gluten Free (if made with GF soy sauce)

Ingredients:

4 oz rice noodles

3 carrots, peeled into ribbons

2 red bell peppers, sliced thinly

2 TBSP minced garlic
2-3 green onion, chopped

1 limes cut into wedges

2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Sauce:
2 TBSP packed brown sugar
1 TBSP soy sauce
Juice from 1 lime
1 TBSP rice vinegar
1 TBSP creamy peanut butter
1 TBSP sriracha (more or less according to your spice preference)
1/2 tsp fresh ginger
1/8 tsp black pepper

Directions:

1) Whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce, set aside.
2) Boil a large pot of water, cook rice noodles according to package
3) Heat 2 TBSP oil in a frying pan. Add red pepper and saute until they begin to soften. Add garlic, carrots and half of the green onion and mix together for 1-2 minutes.
