Preparation
Step 1
Boil noodles for 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness). Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger. Sauté until soft and fragrant.
Step 3

Step 4
Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, sugar, and chili paste. Throw in your cilantro.

Chef's notes
Vegetables:
You can use fresh or frozen vegetables. Options include mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Frozen vegetables are handy if you're short on time.
Sugar:
Sugar is optional. It adds sweetness, but the dish can be made without it by adding more hot sauce and soy sauce.
Noodles:
Pad Thai-shaped noodles are recommended. For al dente noodles, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes instead of boiling.
