- 1/8 tsp coconut sugar or brown sugar

- 2-4 lime wedges (or equivalent lime juice)
- 1 tsp Hemp Hearts
- 1-2 tbs parsley, chopped
Directions:
- Place all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Follow package instructions and cook noodles.
- While the noodles are cooking, place a large pan or wok on medium heat. Once hot, drizzle oil and spread it around evenly.
- Add vegetables/protein and cook until vegetables/protein are cooked through.
- Mix in prepared sauce, 2 Tbs peanuts and cooked noodles. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy with toppings of your choice.
Cooking Notes:
- If your peanut butter is high in sugar, don’t use additional coconut sugar.
- Can substitute Pad Thai noodles for Vermicelli or any other rice noodles.
- Suggested vegetables: carrots, beansprouts, purple cabbage, celery, bok choy.
- You shouldn’t need additional salt; the fish sauce and Tamari already have salt.
