Veggie Pad Thai Preparation Method

Put the wok over medium-high heat. Next, add the onions, garlic, and a tablespoon of oil. Stir fry for around a minute or so for the fragrance to release.
Now, add the broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and Bok Choy. Sir-fry for about 2 minutes until you find the veggies are lightly softened but crisp at the same time. Stir the tofu and then toss for some seconds.
It is now time to move the ingredients to the wok’s side. Add the drained rice noodles and one-third of the Pad Thai sauce. Next, stir-fry the ingredients and the noodles for one minute using a tossing motion and 2 ladles.
Pour a little more Pad Thai sauce and continue to stir-fry for one to two minutes more or until you find the noodles have started becoming softer.
Add the remaining sauce and the bean sprouts. Make sure to continue stir-frying everything together for one to three minutes more or until you see the noodles are cooked properly.
You should remove the utensil from heat to taste. Add some more chilli sauce or soya sauce or Pad Thai sauce if you wish for more flavor or salt.
All done now it’s time to serve. Place the dish onto a stylish serving platter. You can sprinkle peanuts, coriander, and green onion for garnishing. Decorate with wedges of fresh lime on the side.
