Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak Pad Thai noodles in 8 cups of cold water for 45 minutes to soften. Drain thoroughly in a colander and set aside.

  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add broccoli, sliced onions, snow peas, celery, carrots, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute until vegetables begin to soften.
  5. Add the drained noodles, crushed peanuts, fish sauce, black bean sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and white pepper to the skillet.
  6. Cook, stirring continuously, until the noodles are heated through and well-coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes.

  8. Transfer the noodles to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh bean sprouts and sliced leeks. Garnish with a mint sprig.
