Vegan Pad Thai

8 ounces rice noodles

¼ cup vegetable broth

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 limejuiced

1 tsp garlicminced

1 tsp gingergrated

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tbsp olive oil

2 carrotsjulienned or in matchsticks

1 red bell pepperjulienned or in matchsticks

2 green onionsthinly sliced

1 cup bean sproutsoptional

1 cup snow peas

¼ cup peanutschopped

For serving, optional: lime wedges and fresh parsley or cilantro

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Noodles First 🍜
Briefly toast the dried rice noodles in a dry pan before cooking to deepen their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy when combined with the sauce.
Balance Your Sauce Components ⚖️
Taste your sauce before adding it to the noodles and adjust the sweet, salty, and tangy elements by adding more soy sauce, brown sugar, or lime juice individually—this prevents over-correction.
Prep All Ingredients Before Cooking 🎯
Vegan Pad Thai cooks extremely quickly, so mise en place (having all chopped vegetables and sauce ready) is essential to prevent overcooking vegetables or burning aromatics.
Create an Aromatic Base with Ginger and Garlic 🧄
Bloom minced ginger and garlic in sesame oil for just 20-30 seconds before adding other ingredients to unlock their essential oils and create an authentic Thai flavor foundation.
Add Fresh Elements Last for Maximum Texture 🌱
Toss in bean sprouts, green onions, and peanuts only in the final 30 seconds of cooking to maintain their crunch and vibrant flavors that define authentic Pad Thai.
