Okay, so here’s the deal with this recipe. I don’t actually like peanut butter or peanuts. No bueno. But somehow I’m able to tolerate peanut butter / peanuts if they’re in pad thai form, once every thousand years or so. I’m always looking for inspiration for my recipes, and this one was inspired by a trip I recently took to a local Thai place with my friend Lisa. I didn’t order the pad thai, but going to the restaurant got me thinking about how I could recreate the dish in my kitchen.

So here’s my two cents on the matter – if you like pad thai already, you can eat this right after you cook it and truly enjoy it. But if you’re a doubter like me, give this spicy vegan pad thai an hour or so to rest, and let it cool to room temperature. I think you might really like it!

Ingredients

Pad Thai
  • 1 Lb Long Pasta spaghetti, fettuccine, etc
  • 3 Cup Shredded Carrots or Carrot Noodles
  • 3 Cups Snap Peas washed and ends trimmed
  • 1/2 Cup Scallions
  • Cilantro to taste, optional
  • Chopped Bird's Eye Chili caution - see notes
  • Red Pepper Flakes for topping optional

Pad Thai Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 2 Tbs Sriracha
  • 1 Large Clove of Garlic
  • Juice from 1 Lime
  • 2 Tbs Neutral Oil like avocado oil
  • Black Pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. First, cook the pasta according to package directions. I highly recommend a long, flat noodle for this - like fettuccine or linguine. Use brown rice noodles to make gluten-free.
  2. While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Combine all ingredients into a blender, and blend on high until everything is completely smooth.
  3. When pasta is done, drain and set aside.
  4. In a large sauté pan or pot, add in the carrots, (washed and trimmed) snap peas, and a small drizzle of oil. Sauté on medium heat until carrots are wilted, about 3-5 minutes. When done, remove from heat.
