Ingredients
- 8 ounces Rice noodles

- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 quarter cup Peanuts, chopped
- 1 Fresh lime, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- as needed Cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
1. Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly tender.
5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side of the skillet, scrambling them until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
6. Add the drained noodles, cooked beef, bean sprouts, and green onions to the skillet. Pour over the fish sauce, tamari (or soy sauce), lime juice, and sprinkle with red chili flakes.
7. Toss everything together in the skillet to coat with the sauce and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Serve the Beef Pad Thai garnished with chopped peanuts, fresh lime wedges, and a sprinkle of cilantro as desired.
