Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water to loosen the sauce.
To Freeze: I wouldn't recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: Be creative with your vegetable choices! Choose your favourites or what you have on hand.
Tip 2: If you love spicy dishes, keep the seeds in the chile peppers and enjoy!
Tip 3: You can add beef, pork, chicken or prawns into this recipe if you aren’t vegan or vegetarian. If you are vegan/vegetarian you could make tofu Pad Thai if you wished.
