Brussels sprouts pad Thai
Vegans will love this pad Thai that you can make on Boxing Day to use up leftover brussels sprouts. You could also cook the dish using fresh sprouts
Method
First, put the noodles in a large heatproof bowl, cover in boiling water and leave for 10 mins. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce or tamari, tamarind or lime juice and sugar.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry the garlic, spring onions, chilli and the cooked or leftover brussels sprouts for around 2 mins (to cook the sprouts from raw, boil for 8-10 mins until tender). Then, add the noodles and beansprouts and fry for 1 min more. Pour over the sauce and toss well, working quickly to coat all the vegetables and noodles. Once everything is heated through, season and divide between four bowls. Scatter with the nuts and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
