PALEO PAD THAI

Truly one of my favorite meals, and such an easy dinner — even on rushed weeknights! So colorful, filling, and delicious! Keeps my blood-sugar steady, too which is always a huge bonus!

This recipe targets:

Dairy-Free | Gluten-Free | Glucose Friendly | Paleo | Grain-Free

This recipe calls for shiritaki noodles, which are grain-free, paleo, and super high in fiber! However, you can use any noodle of your choice — zoodles, spaghetti squash, butternut squash noodles, etc.!

  • 1 package shiritaki noodles (angel hair or fettucini ones are best!)

  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and/or red pepper flakes to taste

  • 2 tablespoon lime juice to taste

  • Pinch of sea salt to taste

PROTEIN:

  • 1-2 tablespoon avocado oil or coconut oil

  • Optional: Bean sprouts

TOPPINGS:

  • Green onions (sliced)

  • 1 egg (can use a flax egg for vegan!)

  • 1-2 tablespoons of raw honey (or maple syrup for vegan!)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour

  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour (I get mine from Bob’s Red Mill)

Dietary benefits

  • Gluten-free

  • Grain-free

  • Dairy-free

  • Glucose friendly

  • Paleo

Steps

Step 1

Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl. You could whisk, or blend, depending on what is more convenient for you!

Step 2

Prep your noodles as directed, and chop up your veggies. Set your veggies and noodles aside!

Step 3

Scramble your eggs! I like to slightly undercook mine so that it stays soft. Remove them from your pan and set aside!

Step 4

Time for the protein! Heat your oil and garlic in a large pan or wok. Once it’s hot, saute the protein until browned. This only takes a few minutes! Set this aside.

Step 5

Take your chopped veggies, and stir fry them. Once the veggies are almost done, add your noodles in! After adding the noodles, add your protein, eggs, and then sauce. Toss it to combine! Add your toppings (green onions, cilantro, peanuts, lime, etc), serve, and ENJOY! :)
