Green Papaya Pad Thai (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

This green papaya Pad Thai is just as delicious as traditional Pad Thai, but with less cholesterol. Plus, papaya is high in vitamin A and vitamin C. This dish is perfect for anyone watching their weight or looking for a low-carb meal. If you haven't made Pad Thai sauce ahead of time, you can mix it right in the pan with this recipe. The recipe is adapted from goodlifeupdate.com. If you're making a larger batch, I recommend using the beautiful Pad Thai sauce recipe from P'Tom @paremai272522.

Thanks to Recipe Tin. I used coconut noodles to make it low carb and it was delicious. I reduced coconut sugar to 1 tbsp and it made little difference to the final results. There is fish sauce, otherwise vegetarian. 2 Cancerians cook, Libra eats -

Easy, Accessible Pad Thai Easy, Accessible Pad Thai
This pad thai recipe uses commonly stocked ingredients like ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to mimic the flavor of tamarind, brown sugar in lieu of palm sugar, and crushed red chili flakes (like the kind you use on pizza and pasta) to provide the heat normally brought to this dish by Thai chilies.Unfortunately, there is no good substitute in my opinion for the rice noodles that are the heart of this dish. Luckily, they are light, ship inexpensively, and keep forever. If you don't have an Asian market nearby where you can buy them in person, you can order them online from web retailers like amazon. You might even be able to find them at your neighborhood Cost Plus (World Market). But don't discount the Asian section of your grocery, either. With the increasing popularity of so-called *ethnic* cooking, new ingredients are popping up everywhere.The recipe is for 2 to 3 servings. If you want to double it, I recommend just prepping two separate batches for the best result. As with any stir-fry type dish, smaller batches produce a better result because the heat doesn't get diluted by too many ingredients in the pan. x -
Sugar free Pad Thai with brown rice noodle Sugar free Pad Thai with brown rice noodle
Restaurant pad Thai is always packed with sugar and oil which is not healthy. The trick to make this dish really sugar free yet not compromising its flavor is to release natural sugar from carrots and onion by sautéing them in a wok for longer time until they are nearly caramelized.

Pad Thai with Chicken and Tofu Pad Thai with Chicken and Tofu
I love Pad Thai! The flavors are so robust: Spicy! Salty! Sweet! Sour! Preparing this dish takes a little time, but it’s so much better than take-out (healthier, too, since this version is far less oily).I started with a recipe from the “Tastes Better From Scratch“ website, but made several changes.I don’t have a wok, so I chose to cook components separately before combining them in a big pot and allowing the flavors to mingle. Don’t skip drizzling some lime juice on the dish before it’s served. That burst of acidity elevates the favors! My only other tip would be to not oversoak your rice noodles. And don’t boil them either! They’ll fall apart as you’re mixing them and you’ll likely end up with a gluey texture. 😣#Spicy #Dinner #Noodles #Asian Chris Gan -
Easy Chicken Pad Thai Easy Chicken Pad Thai
Pad Thai is one of my favourite meals, but I never used to cook it myself, because I did not want to deal with the complications of a sauce(tamarind paste, oyster sauce etc.). So, drawing inspiration from several online recipes I came up with this easy recipe involving a store-bought sauce. Hope you'll like it! Adelik
