Peanut and Sweet Ginger Pad Thai

This is such a tasty, delicious meal that only takes 15 minutes to make. Use rice noodles for a gluten-free version.

Takes 10 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients
 

  • wedges of lime
  • 300 g wholewheat or brown rice noodles 4 nests
  • ½ thumb-sized piece of ginger approx. 15g
  • 1 red chilli medium heat
  • 1 bunch of scallions/spring onions
  • 1 carrot
  • 150 g oyster mushrooms or mushrooms of choice
  • 1 head of pak choi or 100g baby spinach
  • 1½ tbsp oil

For the dressing:

  • 250 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 4 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

To garnish:

  • A small bunch of fresh coriander or basil approx. 10g
  • 3 tbsp salted roasted peanuts
  • Pickled ginger
  • Wedges of lime

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles
    Put the noodles in a pot of boiling water and cook according to the packet instructions (usually takes 4-5 minutes).
    Remove from heat, drain, and rinse with cold water in a colander over the sink.
  • Prep the vegetables
    Peel and finely chop the ginger.
    Remove the end of the chilli and finely slice (leave the seeds in if you like it hot).
    Finely slice the scallions/spring onions, removing any limp outer leaves, and finely chop the green parts.
    Grate the carrot.
    Finely chop the mushrooms.
    Remove the nub at the end of the pak choi and finely chop.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables
    Put the oil into a large non-stick pan (ideally a wok) over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the ginger and chilli, and cook for 1 minute, stirring regularly.
    Add the mushrooms, scallions, and grated carrot with 1 teaspoon of salt.Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Prepare the dressing
    In a cup, mix together the dressing ingredients using a fork. Don't worry if the coconut milk remains a little lumpy, it will break down when added to the pan.
  • Add the dressing
    Pour the dressing into the pan and stir thoroughly to coat all the vegetables.
    Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Combine noodles and vegetables
    Add the cooked noodles and chopped pak choi (or spinach) to the pan and cook for another few minutes until heated through.
  • Serve
    Remove from the heat. Roughly chop the fresh coriander or basil and use as a garnish for each serving, along with sprinkles of roasted peanuts.
    Serve with some pickled ginger and a wedge of lime on each plate.
  • Note: It's best to prep all the veg first, as this is a fast-cooking dish done on high heat in about 5 minutes.

If dont like mushrooms in this peanut and sweet pad thai, just substitute with your favourite fast cooking veg such as peppers, courgettes or fine beans. Alternative to coconut milk are to make a cashew cream or to replace with low fat coconut milk or simply veg stock for a lower fat version.
