Healthy Pad Thai

I’m on a mission to eat healthy (or healthy-ish) without feeling like I’m on a diet. Here is a recipe to satisfy your Asian food craving - Hope you it helpful!

ZOODLES

• Zucchini 2-3 zucchini thinly sliced or spiralized into zoodles

• Carrots 1 cup thinly sliced carrots

• Cabbage 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage

• Bell Pepper 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced

• Chicken leg pieces - cooked & shredded (around 2 cups) (you could sub this for Tofu and make this a vegan dish)

SAUCE

• 3 TBSP Peanut butter

• 2 TBSP Honey

• 2 TBSP Vinegar

• 2 TBSP Soy Sauce (low sodium)

• Red Chili flakes - depends on your sense of adventure

Combine the sauce ingredients listed above in a pan and cook for 2 mins on low heat till they turn into a paste

STEP 1: Heat oil - add the garlic then the harder veggies first (carrots, bell pepper and cabbage)

STEP 2: Throw in the noodles (zucchini noodles if you haven’t understood it yet), add the cooked chicken and cook for a few min

STEP 3: Add the sauce and mix well

TOPPINGS:

Serve with a topping on roasted sesame seeds, lemon, peanuts and cilantro.

Add some sliced raw onions if you have been married for over 5 years - adds a punch!
