Ingredients
  • 8 ounces pad thai rice noodles

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

  2. Keep tightly sealed and refrigerated until ready to use. It will keep for up to 5 days
  3. Prepare the noodles according to package directions. It’s very important not to overcook them! Often the package says to boil water, then turn it off and let the noodles steep for about 8 minutes. Set a timer to be safe.
  4. Once soft, immediately drain and run cold water over them until cool.
  5. In a very large mixing bowl, toss noodles, radishes and cucumber with most of the dressing, setting aside a little bit for drizzling.
  6. Place a bed of greens on each plate and top with noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, top with a little cilantro, and serve.
