Meat Free Monday – Pad Thai

Welcome to another MEAT FREE MONDAY… looking for some vegan or vegetarian inspiration then look no further. This week fancy trying a tofu pad Thai? Once you have all your cupboard ingredients you’ll be able to cook this up in a few minutes the way it’s cooked in the street markets of Thailand. To make it vegan leave out the egg and fish sauce. Enjoy!
