Ingredients | Vegan Pad Thai Noodles

1 (12 ounce) package dried rice noodles

½ cup white sugar

¼ cup water

½ lime, juiced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate

¼ cup peanut oil

1 clove garlic, minced

4 eggs

1 tablespoon paprika

¼ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste (Optional)

1 head lettuce, chopped, or as needed

2 tablespoons flaxseed oil

½ cup fresh bean sprouts, or to taste (Optional)

½ cup chopped green onion

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

½ cup chopped peanuts

½ lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Place noodles in a bowl with enough hot water to cover; soak noodles until soft, about 10 minutes. Strain.

Combine sugar, water, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and tamarind in a large saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Heat peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; stir just until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add eggs; cook and stir until almost set, 2 to 3 minutes. Add strained noodles to egg mixture; stir in 1/2 of the sauce. Continue to cook and stir noodle mixture until hot, adding additional sauce as desired, 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle paprika and chili powder over the noodles.

Layer lettuce on a serving dish or in individual bowls; drizzle with flaxseed oil. Place noodle mixture on lettuce; garnish with bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro, and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.

Fish sauce can be omitted for a vegetarian version.

Substitute peanut oil for a mixture of sesame and canola oils, if desired. You can also substitute chives for the green onion and spring mix, spinach, or baby lettuces for the chopped lettuce.
