INSTRUCTIONS
Bring large pot of salted water to a boil for noodles. In small bowl, whisk together lime juice, sugar, tamarind chutney, tamari, gochujang, peanut butter, mushroom powder, and 2 tbsp water; set aside.
Add noodles to boiling water and cook until al dente, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse under cool water to stop cooking process.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, green beans, and a pinch of salt and cook, undisturbed, until vegetables start to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add scallions and peanuts and cook until vegetables are tender and peanuts are toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add cooked noodles and sauce to skillet with vegetables and stir to combine. Simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide pad Thai between bowls. Serve with lime wedges. Tuck in!
