Easiest Ever Vegan Thai Peanut Noodles

Skip the take-away version and make your own vegan Pad Thai at home with whole-grain noodles and a plethora of shredded vegetables.

Switching up the regular white rice noodles for brown rice in this recipe decreases the glycemic load, this means a more stable energy output after consumption. Loading up the dish with a selection of vegetables also provides a hit of fiber and array of colors full of differing phytochemicals and antioxidants.
