Here you’ll find a delicious vegan Pad Thai recipe that you’ll love! It’s filling, full of vegetables, and spicy. Pad Thai is a spicy noodle stir-fry dish that comes from Thailand.

Pad Thai isn’t typically vegan because it usually has fish sauce in it. It also can have eggs and meat. Since it has those things in it, I didn’t try Pad Thai for a long time. When we would go to Thai restaurants it would have been easy to order it without the eggs and meat, but not the fish sauce.

When we lived in Seattle for a year, we frequently went to Araya’s Palace, which is a vegan Thai food restaurant. This was the first time I was ever able to try Pad Thai and I loved it! If you’re ever in Seattle, you should definitely give this restaurant a try. They also have delicious crispy spring rolls, yellow curry, and pad see ew.

When we moved back to Utah we didn’t know of any restaurants with vegan Pad Thai, so we decided to make our own vegan Pad Thai recipe!

We use Thai Kitchen Stiry-Fry Noodles for the Pad Thai noodles. We like the thickness of them and they’re easy to cook. They’re also gluten free.

The way we make it has a little spice to it, but you can play with the spice level by adding more Sriracha sauce or putting less.

The Pad Thai sauce calls for peanut butter and I’ve noticed that the brand of peanut butter we use makes the dish taste differently. Our favorite peanut butter to make the sauce with is Adam’s No-Stir Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. It melts really well once you add the sauce to the pan with heat.

We top the dish with crushed peanuts and lime. The sauce already has a little lime in it, but I like to add a lot more to my bowl. 

If you feel like the dish is missing protein, you can add some extra firm tofu to it. I already think it’s a filling dish, but this is a way to make it more filling for vegans or vegetarians.
