Pad Thai is, quite possibly, one of the greatest things on Earth.
It isn’t however, a practical meal option for most of us. Traditionally made from rice noodles, bean sprouts, egg, vegetables, peanuts, and shrimp or chicken, Pad Thai is seen as a time-consuming, indulgent dish to make.
This recipe, though, which is 100% vegan, not only calls for less preparation time, but uses simple, wholesome ingredients without compromising the taste of Thai flavors. Recipe and image via One Ingredient Chef.
