Cook the pad Thai noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water until the noodles are cooled. Toss with a small amount of sesame oil or garlic chili oil and set aside.
Step 2
Lightly simmer the broccoli for a minute or two, just until it's bright green and starting to soften. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Use roasted and salted peanuts if desired. Otherwise, toast the peanuts in a heavy pan on the stove for a few minutes just until they begin to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Chop the green onions and make carrot ribbons by shaving the side of a carrot with a vegetable peeler.

Air-fried tofu cubes and/or cooked and chopped Just Egg would also be delicious in this recipe.
