     Title: Pad Thai, Rainbow Vegetarian With Peanuts And Basil
Categories: Thai
     Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM----------------------------DISH---------------------------------
     4 oz Brown rice noodles
     1    Zucchini
     1    Red pepper
   1/2    Yellow onion
     2    Carrots
     2 tb Oil
     1    Egg; beaten
   1/2 c  Peanuts; chopped
   1/2 c  Fresh herbs like cilantro;
          -scallions, and basil,
          -chopped

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
     3 tb Fish sauce; (or vegan "fish
          -sauce" from the hippy
          -store)
     3 tb Brown sugar
     3 tb Broth
     2 tb White vinegar
     1 tb Soy sauce
     1 ts Chili paste

 Place the uncooked noodles in a bowl of cold water to soak.

 Spiralize the carrots, onion, red pepper, and zucchini into
 noodle-like shapes. Not too long.

 Shake up the sauce ingredients in a jar.

 Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the veggies--stir
 fry with tongs for 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Be careful not
 to overcook them--or else they'll get soggy and heavy. Transfer to a
 dish and set aside.

 Add another tablespoon of oil into the pan. Drain the noodles--they
 shoud be softened by now. Add the noodles to the hot pan and stir fry
 for a minute, using tongs to toss. Add the sauce and stir fry for
 another minute or two, until the sauce is starting to thicken and
 stick to the noodles. Push the noodles aside to make a little room
 for the egg--pour the beaten egg into the pan and let it sit for 30
 seconds or so. Toss everything around with the tongs. The egg mixture
 will stick to the noodles and everything will start to get sticky.

 Add in the vegetables, toss together, and remove from heat. Stir in
 the peanuts and herbs and serve immediately.

 There is a fine line between the mixture being Just Right and TOO
 Sticky. Usually too sticky happens when you cook it too long. Watch
 it carefully and once you see it starting to come together, remove
 from heat right away and toss with veggies.
