  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pad Thai Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for Paleo and Whole30)
  • 1-2 tbsp brown sugar substitute (depending on how sweet you like your sauce)
  • 1 tbsp Shoaxing rice vinegar (or plain rice vinegar)

For the Pad Thai:

  • 4 oz shirataki noodles, drained and rinsed (see post)
  • 1 zucchini, spiralized
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 orange pepper, thinly sliced (or red or green pepper)
  • 1 tsp ginger paste (or 1 tsp minced fresh ginger)
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste (or 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic)
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

To prepare the shirataki noodles:

  1. Drain the noodles well and rinse them under cold water.  Set the noodles in a colander to drain.

To Prepare the Pad Thai sauce:

  1. Whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set it aside.

To make the Pad Thai:

  1. In a wok, add the sesame oil over medium heat.  Add in the green onion and stir until it begins to soften (about 1-2 minutes).  Add the garlic paste and ginger and stir for about 10 seconds or until the spices become fragrant.  Push the ingredients up along the edge of the wok.  Add the egg (omit for vegan) to the center of the pan.  Let it sizzle untouched and flip the eggs only when the edges have crisped.  Break up the egg into small bits and push it to the side of the wok.
  2. Add in the drained noodles and the pad thai sauce, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in the spiralized zucchini.  Using tongs, toss all the ingredients together, making sure that the sauce coats everything in the pan.
  3. Serve immediately, garnishing with peanuts, sliced scallions, and black and white sesame seeds (if desired)

Notes

  • replace the spiralized zucchini with shredded cabbage
  • you can omit the ginger paste
  • you can replace the green onion with a shallot
