Notes
Fish Sauce is traditional in Pad Thai. However, if fish isn't your jam or you are making this recipe as a vegetarian or vegan you can sub 4 tablespoon vegetable or chicken broth. Or you can make your own Vegan Fish Sauce.Recipe Tips:
After cooking your rice noodles make sure you rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. You want an al dente noodle, not mush!
Cut your veggies roughly the same size. This will create a better mouth feel / eating experience. It will also have better visual appeal.
Don't skip the garnish! The crunchy peanuts add great texture and the tang of the lime and freshness of the cilantro add the perfect brightness.
To add more heat serve this dish with a side of Sambal or toss more red pepper flakes into the sauce.
