Wash all vegetables and herbs thoroughly.
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
Cut the bell peppers into quarters, remove the seeds and slice into thin strips.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, remove the middle part (this becomes too soft too quickly but is ideal for soup) and slice into thin strips.
Cut the spring onions into 6 cm pieces and then into fine strips.
Mix the ingredients for the Pad Thai sauce in a bowl.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large, low pan. Sauté the garlic and ginger briefly.
Add all the vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for about 4 minutes until they are al dente.
Add the cooked noodles and the Pad Thai sauce to the pan and heat through.
Finish with zest and lime juice.
Plate the Pad Thai and finish with the chopped peanuts, coriander, and a wedge of lime.
Serve immediately.
Tips
- Use a wok at high temperature for that typical street food flavour.
- Optionally add a chilli pepper for extra spice.
- No tamarind? An extra dash of lime juice works too.
