Recipe Notes
This is a super easy recipe. Because the ingredients all cook quickly it really does only take about 5 minutes to cook.
If you want it to be spicier, add additional cayenne pepper. If you want it less hot, don’t add any – the other spices are enough to give this great flavor without the heat.
This recipe also make a great foundation. The Pad Thai style brown rice noodles cook quickly with about two cups of sauce. You can substitute vegetable stock or shrimp stock for the water and change the spices to suit your mood – red or green curry, miso, or even Moroccan flavors. Likewise, the veggies can suit your taste but sautéing the firmer veggies like the carrots prior to adding the sauce means they are done at about the same time as the softer ones like the snow peas.
Seafood cooks quickly, but if you want to substitute something like chicken that takes longer, make sure to cut it into a 1/2 inch dice.
