BEET Pad THAI
This is a fantastic way to incorporate beets if this is your first time experimenting! By no means is this a traditional pad thai, but i've tried my best to capture all of the essential flavors…and OH! it's vegan, so you're stomach will be happy too! ⏱️ Total Time: 30 minutes
Chef's Notes
- Do not rinse the noodles, and only cook them when you are ready to start assembling the dish!
- You can add all type of thinly sliced veggies to this. My suggestion would be to add julienned cucumber at the end to garnish!
- If you don’t care about making this recipe vegan, feel free to add fish sauce into the sauce mix.
