Loved this recipe. I made a few adjustments, but I’m sure it is great as is too! I make mine with chicken, and I sautéed the green onions with the garlic for some extra flavor. I also like more suave so I doubled the sauce recipe. And added an extra egg for some extra protein. It is decently spicy so I cut the cayenne in half for my kids. My husband, 6 year old and 3 year old can’t get enough and everyone has seconds. Delicious recipe- thank you so much for sharing!

I doubled the sauce and peanuts, left out the cayenne, and added sriracha and extra lime juice for more flavor. The recipe was pretty bland on it's own. But after adding a little more it was fantastic! And dont forget the cilantro!!

I have made this a couple of times. It is very good but great with a couple small modifications.I added sugar snap peas ( steamed a bit) to give it crunch and color. Like others I added a little peanut butter ( not too much! it goes a long way. you can add more later if needed. No way is the prep time 10 minutes...more like 20. But once prepped it takes about 10 minutes to cook.

This is not a traditional Pad Thai, start with that attitude and you’ll love this recipe. Made this last night and it was so good. Your recipe allowed me to feel okay about substitutions... no bean sprouts was good! I didn’t have tamarind (I’m in my RV) so I used balsamic vinegar and extra lime juice. I did not boil the rice noodles, they do not need it. Just soaked them in hot water. Thanks, delish!

I cooked this tonight and add a little ginger it was awesome

Amazing recipe! We added carrots and did chicken instead of shrimp, so yummy!

Great recipe and so easy to make on a weekday for the family

I replace the fish sauce (too fishy for me!) with Oyster sauce, and it's great!

My go-to recipe for Pad Thai. Love it as it’s not too saucy and has lots of flavour!

I didn’t have tamarind sauce on hand, so this was a good recipe to follow when making Pad Thai in a pinch. I like my noodles a bit sweeter, so I replaced roasted peanuts with a dollop of crunchy peanut butter. I highly recommend using sesame oil instead of vegetable oil to bring out the nutty flavors.

Delicious, definitely sharing with my friends!! I love making pad thai, but hate buying expensive pre-made pad thai sauce every time. I love that this recipe gives you an easy alternative with ingredients that are cheap and easy to find at most grocery stores. It was quick to make, with little mess for dishes/prep, and made enough for me to take for multiple work lunches. 

My only recommendation is to add bean sprouts for extra crunch, adding them just before frying your noodles. I also added sesame seeds in my cooking of this recipe, which helped bring out some extra nutty flavors with the peanuts.

Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Drain the noodles &#8211; they should be softened by now. Add the noodles to the hot pan and stir fry for a minute, using tongs to toss. Add the sauce and stir fry for another minute or two, until the sauce is starting to thicken and stick to the noodles. Push the noodles aside to make a little room for the egg &#8211; pour the beaten egg into the pan and let it sit for 30 seconds or so. Toss everything around with the tongs. The egg mixture will stick to the noodles and everything will start getting sticky.

Oh Lindsay I LOVE your easy, healthy meals and this is no exception!  This looks amazing, and I love all those crushed up peanuts they add such a fantastic texture!

Hi! I just tried this but made a couple tweaks, just because I didn't have all the ingredients. I was looking for a good base recipe and this is it! Thanks! :) (My tweaks were really just using a bit of peanut butter to make the sauce creamy and have more body--since I didn't have fish sauce, using spinach instead of zucchini, omitting the egg, and using sriracha! Oh, and squeezing a little lime juice into the sauce, too!)

On the topic of vegan fish sauce,  I found this recipe a while ago and pinned it for reference (I'm not vegan, but one never knows when it'll come in handy): https://food52.com/blog/15368-a-fish-sauce-with-all-of-the-flavor-none-of-the-fish

Mmmm... That looks so good.  Some people might not know, but even a small pot of Pad Thai is so filling it could feed a whole family and then some.  Great food and great post.

Woah this recipe was SO SALTY! I couldn't eat more than two bites and had to throw it out. I might try it again though with half as much fish sauce and soy sauce.

Yes, yes, and yesssss. What I wouldn't give to face-plant in a big ol' bowl of that right about now! This looks DELISH and SO impressed that you made it to the kitchen and whipped this up despite the craziness. High fives.

I needed this recipe! I am a pad thai addict! I am gonna add some shrimp and a little hot sauce! YUM!

Hey Lindsay,

This looks deliciously colourful! Will be running out to get a spiralizer so I can try this recipe out at home :-)

Shallot (finely chopped)

Garlic

Coriander (stems for cooking, leaves

Eggs (whisked)

150 g Bean Sprouts

tbsp Fish Sauce

tbsp Soft Brown Sugar

tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar

tbsp Light Soy Sauce

Lime (squeezed)

tbsp Peanuts (crushed)

Lime

Spring Onions (finely sliced)

Chilli or Chilli Flakes (to make it spicier)

Soy Sauce

Noodles

Cook noodles to packet instructions; once cooked drain and place in a large bowl with cold water to stop them from cooking and prevent them from sticking together.If using straight to wok noodles there is no need for this step.

Sauce

Place all the pad thai sauce ingredients in a bowl, give a good stir and place to one side.

Vegetables

Prepare all the vegetables before starting to cook. Separate the coriander (cilantro) leaves and stems. The stems are to use during cooking, save the leaves for garnishing.

Prawns

Add ½ of the sesame oil, cook the prawns over medium heat for 2-3 mins on each side, remove and set aside. Add remaining ½ of sesame oil in the wok.

Cook the shallots, garlic, chillies and coriander stems cook for a few minutes over medium-high heat until shallots are golden.

Push the ingredients to the edges of the wok, add the whisked eggs leave them to sit for 2 mins.  Then scramble the eggs and mix in with the ingredients from around the side of the wok.

Tongs

Add the cooked noodles to the wok, using tongs makes it easier to mix the ingredients together.

Heat

Add the pad thai sauce, cooked prawns and bean sprouts. Flip all together with tongs until well combined and heated through.

Toppings

Serve with a combination of your choice of toppings.I like a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, spring onions, extra chilli, a wedge of lime, and extra soy sauce.

This single serving Pad Thai is made with rice noodles, shrimp, vegetables, and a flavorful homemade sauce. It’s quick to make and perfect for a satisfying, restaurant-style meal at home.

Pad Thai For One

hot sauce

olive oil

red bell pepper (-thinly sliced)

garlic (-minced)

shrimp

egg (-lightly beaten)

peanuts (,plus 1 to 2 tablespoons more, chopped for topping (optional))

green onion (-for topping)

cilantro (-for topping)

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Rinse under cold water and set aside.Pro Tip: After rinsing, toss the noodles with a little oil to keep them from sticking.

Cook the Noodles

In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.

Make the Pad Thai Sauce

Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet or wok over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.

Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until fully cooked.

Push everything to the sides of the pan. Add a little more oil to the center and pour in the beaten egg. Stir until the egg is fully cooked.

Add the noodles, sauce, bean sprouts, and peanuts to the pan. Toss to combine.

Transfer to a plate and top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and extra peanuts if desired.

Make the Stir Fry

Wow, the sauce is wonderful! I made this dish for lunch, substituting shredded cabbage for the bean sprouts that weren't on hand. Tabasco is a perfectly good hot sauce. This is yet another repeater that I'd happily serve to friends. ODK rocks!

I am looking so forward to making this. As a lover of Asian dishes, this one ranks as one of my favs and being able to have it often (seeing as how a single serving is great when you're home alone) really makes it a real treat for me. Thank you so much!
