Plant-based Pad Thai with spicy almond sauce

Pad Thai is a delicious and popular Thai dish that has become a favourite of many Australians. It typically consists of stir-fried rice noodles, eggs, tofu, bean sprouts, and a variety of vegetables such as onions, garlic, and chives, all tossed together in a savoury sauce made from tamarind, fish sauce, and other seasonings.

The dish is often garnished with chopped peanuts and lime wedges and can be made with chicken, prawns, or other meats, however, our entirely plant-based recipe here is packed full of flavour, and is highly nutritious that is perfect for lunch or dinner.
