Its light, fresh and absolutely quick loaded with a bit of crunch from peanuts. Homemade Vegetarian Pad Thai no fish sauce recipe makes a fantastic weeknight dinner. Sometime last year, in mid - September, I was lucky to actually shoot a set of oriental recipes for a client at the School of Wok, Covent Garden London. The chef at the school of Wok cooked such authentic meal that I so wished, I could dig straight into them. But most of the recipes, we were working on had meat. Grrr…. But on the second day of the shoot, I was kind of lucky to sample some Vegetarian Pad Thai… ( yes .. Vegan Pad Thai without Fish sauce ). I was literally blown out with the heat when I tasted that bowl of Vegetable Pad Thai Noodles. Soon after the meal I had a chat with the chef and she said there is a good amount of heat & spice in Thai food usually.

After experiencing some fab food and Live demo at the School of Wok during my shoot, I always wanted to recreate some easy vegetable Pad Thai at home and my experiment has been successful. The store bought sauce was quite sweet and completely different from what I have tasted from the experts.
Ingredients for Vegetarian Pad Thai noodles
Pad Thai Noodles - If Pad Thai is not locally available, Spaghetti or even Linguine noodles works. Sauce - A little bit of tamarind-paste, chilli paste, brown sugar is all I needed for a perfect sauce for vegetarians. Yes if fish is acceptable in your diet you may add in some fish sauce. Being a vegetarian, I have left it aside and still, our Pad Thai is absolutely wonderful, light and delightful. For the vegetable choices, what I have used in this recipe is a selection of broccolini, baby corn, bean sprouts and sugar snaps. And that is it. Garnishes - I have used some Peanuts and Lime.
How do you season a Wok?
Well, first you heat the Wok at high heat until the inside and outside turns from grey to black. I allowed it to cool down completely and then using tissue paper applied a teaspoon of oil inside the wok. Heat the Wok again at high-temperature and you’re all set to use the seasoned Wok. Seasoning the Wok actually increases the longevity of the kitchen tool! Absolutely loved it and have been cooking a storm for the past one week.
