Vegan Pad Thai | Gluten Free, Vegan | 20 min Easy Dinner Recipes

Vegan Pad Thai is a quick to make Asian-style Dinner in under 20 mins. Totally customisable with protein of choice, it is a delicious meal that your family will surely love.

Why Pad Thai ?

Pad Thai is a crowd favourite and sooo customisable too with protein options. We love Asian food at home, especially on weekends or lazy Sundays, and this is a kids’ favourite too, so documenting it here was paramount.

Of course, there are a zillion add-ons to this, with sauteed Tofu that can be added for protein. We kept this quick, simple and kid-friendly too. In recent times, I have had the best Vegan Pad Thai at Hyatt Place, Kochi (Cochin, India) and the memory of their Som Tam Noodles (Raw Papaya Salad) still tickles my tastebuds. That Som Tam is coming up soon enough 🙂

Thai cuisine is so loved at home with Thai Mango Yellow Curry being a hot favourite followed by Thai Coconut SoupMostly made with Flat noodles, I made with flat Rice Noodles for a Gluten Free version. I have had this with Udon Noodles too, but I prefer a quick stir fry with Udon noodles.
