Gather all Ingredients
Vegetables are a key component of both ramen and Pad Thai. By incorporating a variety of colorful vegetables, you increase the nutritional value of your dish, while adding essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
I like using brown rice noodles for this recipe. Brown rice noodles are a whole grain option that also contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Brown rice ramen noodles are also often gluten-free, which makes them suitable for those following a gluten-free diet.
