This is a super easy recipe for the classic pad Thai! It takes less than 15-minutes to cook, so it is perfect for those nights you want something tasty but don't feel like spending hours in the kitchen.
Great protein options for this dish are tofu, chicken or shrimp!
For this recipe I just used shredded carrot and some sugar snap peas, but you can add any veggies you like! I also like adding red pepper & edamame.
This meal also saves super well. I always make extra so I can take it to work for lunch the next day!
