Homemade Pad Thai

I've been asked by my friend Halley for the recipe for this dish I created today. It's pretty basic; we were going to go out for Thai but Laura didn't want to go out, so I just made something up. These measurements are VERY approximate; I just threw everything together

1 box rice noodles
half a cucumber
some carrots
a few green onions
fresh basil; about ten leaves
1/4 c peanuts; dry roasted or plain
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c rice vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c lime juice
crushed red pepper
3 eggs

Cook rice noodles; drain and put into clean bowl or back into pot.

Cut up veggies; set aside.

Grind up peanuts into very small chunks (NOT dust)

Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, crushed red pepper, and peanut chunks together; this is the sauce. I heated my sauce in the microwave for one minute to make it hot. I also added a little corn starch to make it a little thicker, but it didn't really do anything.

Scramble eggs. We didn't have any thawed meat, so I went with eggs. Feel free to do this with strips of chicken, beef, pork, tofu, etc. Whatever you want.

Mix eggs and veggies in with cooked rice noodles. Pour sauce over mixture. If you don't have as much sauce as you'd like, make some more. Voila!

Let me know how you like it!
