Vegetable Pad Thai with Protein Noodles
Vegetable Pad Thai is a classic Thai dish that hits the spot every time. Bursting with perfectly contrasting flavors like peanuts, cilantro, lime; filling you up just right; combining the soft and crunchy textures like tofu and eggs with bean sprouts and carrots.
