Easy Vegan Pad Thai
Published by .
Pad Thai is one of my absolute favorite meals. My local Thai restaurant knows me and my takeout order by heart. This recipe is just as delicious as my favorite restaurant meals, and since I normally keep most of the ingredients in my cupboards, I don’t even have to leave the house to pick it up! Try it today, though I must warn you: It’s so good that you might eat the whole batch.
