A 'quick and easy to make' light, tasty dish. You could add Tofu or other high protein based foods to make it a more substantial meal. If you're interested in knowing more about the effects of the sprouting process, it actually improves many benefits that are already in the bean. The soaking/sprouting process increases the nutritional value of its' protein, which is required for many bodily functions from building bone and muscle tissue to carrying oxygen around the body. The vitamin content also increases in some beans, the vitamin C increases as the seed germinates which provides antioxidants to combat free radicals. The fibre content also increases substantially - fibre binds to fats and toxins and quickly flushes them from our system. It has a positive overall effect to say the least. As always, please check the labels to make sure that the products you use are suitable for your specific diets or allergies.

5 ounces flat rice stick noodles (linguine size)
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind paste or tamarind concentrate (see Cook's Note)
1 to 3 tablespoons sriracha (depending on desired heat level)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup cubed extra-firm tofu (1-by-1/2-inch cubes)
1 shallot, thinly sliced

1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cup mung bean sprouts
3 thin scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces (see Cook's Note)

Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.

Valuable Tips When Making All Vegetable Pad Thai Recipes

1. Use Fresh Vegetables
Fresh vegetables are important when making all vegetable Pad Thai recipes as they provide the natural flavor and nutrients needed for a healthy and delicious meal. Choose vegetables that are firm and free from holes or blemishes. Wash them thoroughly before using.
2. Soak the Noodles
Soaking the rice noodles in warm water for about 15 minutes before cooking prevents them from clumping together. Drain the water and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce in Advance
The preparation of the sauce is the key to a delicious Pad Thai. Mix the sauce in advance, about an hour or two before preparing the meal to allow the flavors to blend well.
4. Use High Heat and Work Quickly
Cook the vegetables and noodles on high heat and work quickly, ensuring that the vegetables remain crisp and the noodles don't become mushy. A wok is the most preferred cooking utensil as its shape and high sides allow for easy stirring without spilling over.
5. Use the Right Oil
For an authentic Thai taste, use peanut or vegetable oil when cooking. These oils have a high smoke point, meaning they can be heated to high temperatures without burning.
6. Add Protein Sources
All vegetable Pad Thai recipes can be made even more balanced and delicious by adding protein sources such as tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas. These can be stir-fried together with the vegetables and noodles.
7. Don't Forget the Garnish
Garnishing the Pad Thai adds a burst of color and flavor to the meal. Squeeze some lime juice over the dish, sprinkle chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for crunch, and add some fresh cilantro or basil on top for the perfect finishing touch.
8. Experiment with Flavors
While traditional Pad Thai recipes call for specific ingredients, there's no harm in experimenting with different vegetables, spices, and herbs. You may find that you enjoy the dish with a touch of heat from chili flakes, or a subtle sweetness from honey or maple syrup.
9. Be Mindful of Sodium Content
Many traditional Pad Thai recipes call for fish sauce, which is high in sodium. To make an all vegetable Pad Thai recipe without fish sauce, use soy sauce or tamari instead, and go easy on the salt.
10. Serve and Enjoy!
Finally, serve and enjoy your all vegetable Pad Thai creation. Serve it hot and fresh from the wok and enjoy with your favorite drink or accompaniment. Bon appétit!
