1yellow summer squash, sliced into strips or "noodles"
1carrot, sliced into strips or shredded
1heaping cup chopped or shredded red cabbage
1small red bell pepper, chopped
2eggs, beaten
1big handful bean sprouts
4ouncesvermicelli rice noodles
pad thai sauce
peanuts, chopped
cilantro, minced
green onions, sliced on the diagonal
Instructions
Prepare the rice noodles according to package directions. (Usually, this involves soaking them in very hot water for about 15 minutes.) Drain, and set aside.
While the rice noodles soak, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high until shimmering, add the ginger, and stir to coat. Drop in the zucchini, squash, carrot, cabbage, and bell peppers. Saute until the veggies are softened (5 to 8 minutes). Reduce heat to medium low, and let some of the liquid given off by the zucchini evaporate for a few minutes. Pour in the eggs, and swirl them around in the veggies until curds form. Add the bean sprouts and fold into the veggies. Pour some of the pad Thai sauce over the veggie mixture and stir.
Finally, mix in the rice noodles. Add more pad Thai sauce to suit (I prefer mine coated with, but not pooled in, sauce). Garnish with peanuts, cilantro, and green onions.
