Pad Thai is one of my absolute favorite dishes to get when I order takeout. After ordering it for the thousandth time, I thought: why can't I make this myself? So I went searching for recipes and I stumbled upon this one from Delish. With a few tweaks in the sauce, oil and amount of vegetables, I fine-tuned the recipe and came up with this:

    Cook your noodles per the package instructions. I used Lotus Foods Brown Pad Thai Rice Noodles and cooked them for 5 minutes in salted boiling water. Drain.
