    Ever since I discovered an Asian supermarket, our drawers have been filled with "exotic" products. I've tested a lot of new Asian recipes without being disappointed. This time I tried a Thai recipe: fast, easy and tasty, this recipe is delicious!

    It's easy to whip up a plate of this delicious pad Thai when you're craving comfort food, but sometimes you may want to eat this dish as part of a complete meal. When you're craving that full Asian feast, I recommend pairing this pad Thai with some fresh steamed dumplings and an Asian slaw.

    Or if you're feeling bold, you might want to pair this pad Thai with an edamame burger or crispy tofu! And if you want to keep things light, you can always just opt for pairing your pad Thai with some refreshing lettuce cups.

    No matter how you serve it or what you eat it with, you can't go wrong with this pad Thai!

    How to Make Vegan Pad Thai

    1. Soak noodles until softened, then drain.
    2. Brown tofu in an oiled pan for 5 minutes.
    3. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, and sugar.
    4. Add the carrot, lime juice, and soy sauce mixture to the pan.
    5. Cook another 5 minutes over high heat.
    6. Add remaining ingredients. Cook another 4 minutes.
    7. Serve pad thai in a bowl & sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    Full directions for how to make Vegan Pad Thai are in the printable recipe card below.

    Vegan Pad Thai FAQs

    What is Pad Thai?

    Pad Thai is rice noodles (gluten-free, for those who are interested) sautéed with tofu, vegetables, and a sauce that transports you to another continent! Other Pad Thai recipes often include cooked eggs or meat, but this recipe is completely vegan.
