Ingredients

For the Sauce

3 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp chicken broth
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp Thai chili paste

For the noodles

4 oz brown rice noodles
2 large zucchini
2 large carrots*
2 tbsp olive oil divided
1/4 yellow onion cut into lengthwise strips
2 cloves garlic minced
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 1/2 cup bean sprouts
2 green onions chopped, divided
1/2 cup roasted peanuts chopped
1/4 cup cilantro fresh, chopped

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce; set aside.
In a medium bowl, soak the noodles in cold water.
Spiralize the zucchini and carrots into small noodle-shaped strands. In a large skillet set over medium heat, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. When hot, add the zucchini, carrot, onion and garlic and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until soft. Make a well or nest in the center of the pan and add the egg. Cook for a few minutes, until scrambled; transfer everything to a plate.
Add the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Drain the softened noodles and stir-fry for a minute. Turn heat up to medium-high, pour in the sauce and let it simmer for a minute or two, or until the the sauce thickens.
Add in the vegetables, sprouts and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for a minute or two, then remove from the heat, serve and garnish with the remaining green onions, peanuts and cilantro.

Notes

*You'll want to use the thickest carrots you can find. They should be at least an inch in diameter, preferably way more.
-You can always by pre-made pad Thai sauce, however this is a delicious, homemade alternative.
-Add you favorite protein to the dish to bulk it up!
