Vegan Pasta Panang is one of my favorite dishes to make!
Not only is it fast and easy (you cna have it ready in just about 25 minutes!) it is so delicious!
I love spicy Thai food and this one packs a punch!
But not too much kick, just the right amount of heat in this perfect peanut sauce to go over all those beautiful veggies and Pad Thai style pasta!
For “chicken-less” vegan panang pasta add a package of cooked Gardien Chick’n Strips or any plant based meat alternative of your choice!

This is the most authentic tasting Panang recipe on the internet. I was blown away at how amazing it was yet how simple it was to make. The only veges I used were what I had on hand: carrots, celery, yellow & green onions. I did have Vegan Chicken Strips by Morning Star which was perfect in this recipe. I also added 1 tsp of minced ginger to the sauce. Super Delicious!!
wow thanks for trying it! I also love this recipe! I was debating deleting this video since it got the LEAST amount of attention compared to ALL my videos (not that I get much attention to begin with, LOL but in terms of views, this one was the absolute lowest!) Im glad I didnt do it before you got a chance to check it out!
Oh, I also doubled the sauce for this recipe. I think doubling the sauce per 16oz of brown rice noodles is very necessary.
Continue your great work!! You are an inspiration
