Vegetarian Pad Thai (Better Than Takeout + Veggie-Packed!)

This Vegetarian Pad Thai is a fresh, veggie-forward take on the classic Thai noodle dish—perfect for anyone craving comfort food that still feels light and nourishing. Made with tender rice noodles, crisp bok choy, soft scrambled eggs, crunchy peanuts, and a bright squeeze of lime, this recipe delivers bold flavor without the heaviness of restaurant takeout.
I love this version because it’s incredibly flexible and packed with fiber-rich vegetables that support digestion and sustained energy—especially helpful for women over 50. Bok choy adds antioxidants and minerals, while rice noodles keep the dish naturally gluten-free when paired with the right sauce.
In this video, I walk you through:
• How to prep rice noodles so they don’t get mushy
• The best way to scramble eggs for classic Pad Thai texture
• How to balance heat, acidity, and savory flavor
• Simple swaps to customize spice and protein
Whether you’re cooking for Meatless Monday, a quick weeknight dinner, or just want a healthier homemade Pad Thai, this recipe is a must-try.
