- Cook noodles: While veggies cook begin boiling water for the noodles and cook according to the package directions
- Cook protein: Meanwhile add prepped raw protein to the pan with veggies and cook until browned
- Cook eggs: lower heat, push veggies and protein to the side and add 3 raw eggs to scramble. Once scrambled, gently mix into the veggie / protein mixture
- Add noodles and sauce: Keep pan on a simmer and add cooked noodles and prepped pad thai sauce to the veggie, protein, egg mixture. Toss well until sauce soaks up well but isn’t dried up.
- Serve immediately and top with chopped nuts, fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime - enjoy!
Notes
This meal keeps well for up to 2 days - after two days the noodles tend to get mushy!
