Vegan Pad Thai

Vegan Pad Thai is a simple stir-fry dish of rice noodles, veggies, and crispy tofu. With a delicious spicy peanut sauce, and toppings of crunchy peanuts, chili flakes and a squeeze of lime, it’s incredibly flavorful! By far, this is one of my favorite noodle dishes!

Ingredients

Here’s what you will need.

For the pad Thai:

  • rice noodles
  • sesame oil
  • extra firm tofu
  • bean sprouts
  • Chinese chives

For the peanut sauce:

  • peanut butter
  • soy sauce
  • maple syrup
  • Gochujang
  • rice vinegar
  • sesame oil
  • ginger
  • garlic
  • chili flakes

To serve:

Ingredient Notes

Most of the ingredients are simple and easy to find, except for maybe Gochujang. Gochujang is a spicy chili paste popular in Korean cooking. It’s sold at most Asian markets and on Amazon. If you need a substitute, you can use another chili paste like Sriracha or Sambal sauce. Or, you could make your own Homemade Gochujang.

How to make Vegan Pad Thai

Making this dish is a very easy process. From start to finish, 20 minutes is all you need! Here are the 4 basic steps:

  1. Make the sauce – add all the ingredients for the peanut sauce to a food processor and blend.
  2. Cook the noodles – cook the noodles according to the package directions.
  3. Stir fry the ingredients – cook the tofu and the veggies in a pan. Add the noodles and the sauce and mix to combine.
  4. Serve – top the noodles with crushed peanuts, cilantro, chili flakes and a squeeze of lime.
