Spicy Pad Thai

Spicy Pad Thai

This spicy pad thai recipe is perfect for a mid-week dinner and uses many common cooking vegetables. This recipe might be better than the restaurant and is definitely worth a try! It comes together quickly so prep and cut all the ingredients ahead of time. We suggest using carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli but all these ingredients can be substituted or left out. Another addition is crushed peanuts! If you’re just making it for two people don’t worry the leftovers are fantastic for lunch.
