Easy Pad Thai

Found this recipe on Pinterest. Very good! Quick, easy, tasty. On her blog people say the noodles get dry. Mine did a little so I might add some broth or just not combine it as long next time. 8/10 (according to B) I liked it a lot. 10/10

Easy Pad Thai
(adapted from Everyday Food)

Serves 2-3

8 ounces dried, wide and flat rice noodles
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 squirt (about 1/8 teaspoon) Sriracha (optional)

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 scallions (green onions), white and green parts, separated and thinly sliced
1/4-1/2 cup chopped/ diced red pepper ( I used half a pepper)
1/4-1/3 cup grated carrots
Any other veggies you like
1 garlic clove, minced
2 large eggs, light beaten (optional)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
1/4 cup chopped roasted, salted peanuts

Soak noodles according to package instructions. 25 min. Drain. Or place in boiling water for 5 minutes or until soft.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, and Sriracha.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add scallion whites and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add veggies and cook till tender. Add eggs and cook, scraping skillet with spatula until eggs are almost set (about 30 seconds). Transfer eggs to a plate.
Add noodles, scallion greens, and sauce to skillet. Cook, tossing constantly, until noodles are soft (about 1 minute). Add egg mixture and toss to coat, breaking eggs up gently.
Serve noodles with lime wedges, topped with cilantro and peanuts.
