Veggie pad thai
Season :All
Servings :2
Diet :X (Vegetarian if you swap the fish sauce for soy sauce)
Time :30 minutes
Difficulty :Easy
This Pad Thai is really easy and quick to make so it is the perfect weeknight dinner. If you like to add some extra protein, fried prawns would be great! I created this recipe for J. de Villebois to pair with their delicious Touraine Sauvignon Blanc. This racy and clean Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect counterpart for a classic Pad Thai. The refreshing vibrancy and intense vegetal flavours including gooseberrys and green asparagus compliment the classic Thai flavours of tamarind, lime, garlic and red chilli pepper.
