Ingredients

8 oz rice noodles flat and thick ( see ingredient photos in the post)
4 cloves garlic minced
1 small onion chopped thinly
2-3 tbsp cooking oil

For the Easy Pad Thai Sauce

1 cup coconut milk
⅓ cup peanut butter
3 tbsp. soy sauce
4 tbsp. tomato ketchup
3 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes
3-4 dash hot sauce more or less, to your taste
1 inch piece ginger minced
chopped onions, cilantro and peanuts for garnish

Instructions

In a medium pot, boil enough water that can cover the noodles. Boil the noodles until for 3-4 minutes or until soft and separated. Drain immediately and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and ketchup. Whisk together until the mixture turns into a smooth sauce.
Heat oil in a wok or wide skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic, ginger and onion until they are softened. Add the sauce and the noodles. Toss the noodles around using tongs to distribute the sauce evenly. It will look very saucy at this point but the noodles will soak it up nicely later.
Turn off heat. Drizzle with lime. Top the servings with cilantro, green onions and chopped peanuts, if desired.

Notes

Also try my shrimp version Pad Thai. That is an upgraded version with egg, shrimp and tamarind paste!
