Pad Thai Vegetarian Zinger Recipe

	Pinotnoir / All my dishes 3 weeks, 5 days ago Another Pad Thai you say. But this one is really tasty, contains no meat, is better than most and fun to make in so little time. Vary the sauce to fit your taste - can add some chili sauce to heat it up more. Prep:20m Cook:5m Servings:4	Pinotnoir
