This Pad Thai is a predominately plant-based and gluten-free. Plus it can be ready in 15 minutes, so it doesn’t get much easier than that. It's a simple recipe which contains wholefoods and is a fantastic way to bulk up the vegetable content of your diet. It's a delicious healthy alternative to your usual Pad Thai which is generally loaded with sugar and a processed/GMO loaded sauce. If you're strapped for time during the week this is a really awesome dish to whip up, which will fuel your body with nourishing ingredients. You can also add some extra protein like tofu, prawns, chicken etc. right on top!

Ingredients:

2 zuchinnis

2 carrots

1 packet of rice noodles

½ onion, peeled & diced

4 eggs

2 spring onion stalks, finely chopped

handful of coriander

1 tbsp coconut oil

optional: extra protein such as tofu, prawns, chicken

Sauce

⅓ cup water

5 tbsp tahini or nut butter

1 tbsp tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)

1 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup

1 garlic clove, peeled & chopped

1 tsp chilli flakes

½ lime squeezed

Method:

Make the dressing - simply add all sauce ingredients into a food processor or blender (or whisk together) until smooth.

Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Use a vegetable peeler or julienne peeler to peel the zucchinis and carrots into strips. Set to one side.

Heat a large fry pan with coconut oil, add onions and sauté for a few minutes.

Add eggs and mix around to break them up, cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add in carrots and zucchini, lightly cook for 3-5 minutes until soft (not well cooked), then turn off heat.

Add in rice noodles, chopped spring onion, pour sauce dressing over top and mix everything together.

Pour onto two plates, top with freshly chopped coriander and enjoy!
