Vegie pad Thai

PREP & COOK TIME 40 MINUTES (+ STANDING) SERVES 6

200g dried rice noodles

1/3 cup (80ml) peanut oil

1/4 cup (60ml) boiling water

1/2 cup (135g) grated palm sugar or brown sugar

1 tablespoon tamarind puree

1/4 cup (60ml) lime juice

1/3 cup (80ml) gluten-free tamari

400g packaged fresh stir-fry vegetable mix

3 eggs, beaten lightly

2 cloves garlic, crushed

4 green onions, sliced thinly diagonally

2/3 cup (100g) roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped coarsely

1/3 cup (25g) fried Asian shallots

150g bean sprouts

1/2 cup loosely packed coriander leaves

1 lime, halved

1 Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl; cover with boiling water. Stand for 15 minutes or until just tender. Drain noodles, toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil; cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

2 Stir the boiling water, sugar, tamarind, juice and tamari in a small jug or bowl until sugar dissolves.

3 Heat a wok over high heat; add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add vegetable mix; stir-fry for 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender; remove from wok.

4 Add egg to wok; swirl to coat base and side. Cook egg for 1 minute or until just set. Transfer to a board; coarsely chop.

5 Heat remaining oil and the garlic in wok; stir-fry for 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant. Return vegetables to wok with noodles, three-quarters of the green onion and sauce mixture; stir-fry until noodles are heated through. Stir in chopped egg.

6 Remove from heat. Sprinkle over half the peanuts and half the shallots; toss to combine.

7 Serve noodles topped with bean sprouts, coriander and remaining peanuts, green onion and shallots; serve pad thai with lime halves.
