Pad Thai

OH MY GOSH.

Ever since our honeymoon, Jorge and I have been OBSESSED with Pad Thais, we were in Thailand for about a week and we ate pad Thai almost every single day. We always got this “guilty” feeling afterwards even though we really enjoyed it, we just fell like we weren’t eating healthy AT ALL.

So, after a couple days of trial and error I finally found an AMAZING healthy version of the original Pad Thai and nothing makes me more happy but to share it with you. Here goes!

Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz brown Pad Thai noodles

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup chopped green onions

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1/3 cup roasted peanuts

  • Salt & pepper

  • Chicken or Tofu

Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 3 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar

  • 1 1/2 tsp chili sauce

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1-2 tbsp fish sauce

+More coconut aminos, chili sauce, fish sauce for marinating Protein

Directions

Marinate chicken or tofu with coconut aminos, chili sauce, fish sauce and salt and pepper for at least 30 min.

Cook noodles in salted water for about 8 min, drain.

In a big skillet or grill, cook chicken/tofu and set aside.

Combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well incorporated.

In the skillet, heat up sesame oil and add garlic, then add beaten egg and cook.

Add noodles, green onion, peanuts, sauce mix and toss until everything is very well incorporated.

Finally, add cooked chicken/tofu.

Serve and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and peanuts.

That’s it! this recipe shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes to make and trust me, you really won’t regret it.

Enjoy :)

Much love,
