Spicy vegetarian pad thai

This dish and recipe are inspired by my latest dining experience at a Thai restaurant by my home. The noodles were spicy and paired with a ginger soda, turned out to be a perfect dinner and ending to a busy work day. I would've liked the ginger less sweet and more gingery. The host tried adding some ginger slivers which fixed the over powering sweetness of the soda.

Here's my version of Pad Thai. Purely vegetarian without the fish sauce. Check out other recipe from swamyskitchen.com.
