The BEST One Pot Pad Thai Noodles

These gluten-free Pad Thai Noodles are such an easy and delicious meal that comes together in under 30 minutes. A yummy one pot dish that is filled with rice noodles, chicken, scrambled eggs, veggies in a delicious homemade sauce.

One pot meals are just my thing guys. They’re simple, they make cooking less intimidating in my opinion and it makes you wonder why you made certain things not a one pot meal from the beginning.

These Pad Thai Noodles are exactly what you have been looking for. A dish ready in under 30 minutes that is heathy, filled with flavor and made with fresh veggies and in a simple pad thai sauce. Plus the crunch of the peanuts and scallions on top is just perfection.

This is one of those dishes you’ll want to prep for the week. Enjoy it leftover for lunch or dinner. I also use chicken in this dish more often than not. But you an also do shrimp or tofu too.

I love that this dish is budget-friendly, healthier than your usual take out Pad Thai and so incredibly flavorful. It’s going to be on of those tasty meals you come back to again and again.

I hope you love this dish as much as I do – I can’t wait to hear what you think. Plus this dish is also gluten-free, dairy-free and you can tweak it to make it vegan/vegetarian!
