Vegetarian Pad Thai

Take-out pad Thai, while high in protein, is also high in additives and preservatives, and low on veggies. Try making a healthier, meatless version at home that skips the meat, not the taste. Here, the vegetable component is boosted, while eggs and peanuts provide satisfying, budget-friendly protein.
