Recipe: Vegetable Pad Thai

Who doesn’t love Pad Thai? It’s the perfect Thai style blend of sweet, sour, salty, savory, and spicy flavors. I always assumed it was difficult to make but actually it only takes a couple of minutes! The hardest part is going to the store and getting rice noodles which is something I don’t usually keep on hand. You can make this easily vegetarian or vegan with a couple quick swaps but I like fish sauce too much myself!
