So me being a lover of food but a mild-hater of cooking, when I discovered this awesome (read: quick) sauce from VH at the store it made the idea of cooking less daunting (at least for one night). VH also came out with the really great, premade yellow curry sauce that you honestly just heat up and put over rice.
Wish I'd known about these things when I was in university! Below is a really easy recipe for pad thai.
Vegetable Pad Thai with Snow Peas
This is a great vegetarian dish with loads of flavour, texture and colour.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
2 cups (500 mL) onions, finely slivered
4 cups (1 L) napa cabbage, finely sliced
2 cups (500 mL) red pepper, coarsely chopped
1 cup (250 mL) carrots, peeled and finely sliced
2 cups (500 mL) snow peas
1 bottle (355 mL) VH® Pad Thai Sauce
½ package Pad Thai noodles (prepared as directed on package)
½ cup (125 mL) roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1. In a large pan heat oil over medium-high, saute onions, cabbage, red pepper, carrots and snow peas until tender, about 12 minutes.
2. Add VH® Pad Thai Sauce and noodles to pan and toss until heated through. Serve sprinkled with peanuts. To avoid noodles from sticking to the pan turn off heat while tossing with sauce.
Tips:
· Add a package of diced, firm tofu to the pan 4 minutes before vegetables are cooked for a great source of protein.
· When cooking the noodles be sure to lightly salt the cooking water.
