Gluten-Free Easy Pad Thai

Gluten-Free Easy Pad Thai--(Vegetarian)--

Pad Thai is a dish that I absolutely LOVE. If it is prepared without the soy sauce ( and risk of cross contamination) it is a gluten-free option in restaurants. However, that is a pretty big "if"..... this dish is super quick and easy to prepare at home.

INGREDIENTS:

2 (8 oz.) pad thai noodles
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp. fresh lime juice
2/3 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/8 tsp. Sriracha
1/2 tsp. Chili Garlic Sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil, divided
4 scallions (white and green onions), diced
2 tsp. garlic powder
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup roasted, salted peanuts, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

In a large mixing bowl, add water to noodles (according to directions) and soak. Drain noodles. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, add lime juice, soy sauce, Sriracha, Chili Garlic sauce, brown sugar, and garlic. Whisk well. Set aside.

In a large wok, heat 1/2 of the oil over medium/high heat.
Add scallions and eggs. Cook, scraping sides and bottom of wok to prevent sticking, until eggs are almost set. Set aside on a plate.

Heat the rest of the oil over medium/high heat. Add noodles and sauce to wok, tossing constantly for about two minutes until noodles are soft. Add egg mixture, cutting the eggs apart. Cook for an additional minute.
