    Easy Pad Thai that’s become a House Favorite

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on June 4, 2019 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    Pad Thai is a naturally dairy-free dish that’s made with rice noodles. It’s common street food in Thailand, and there are many variations of it online. This is a very Americanized version that uses easy to find ingredients. It’s also very simple and quick to make. I originally posted this recipe back in 2006, but I am giving this post a full update for you!

    Special Diet Notes: Easy Pad Thai

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, tree nut-free, and soy-free.

    For peanut-free pad thai, substitute you favorite cooking oil for the peanut oil and omit the peanut garnish.

    I often replace the shrimp with chicken, tofu, or organic ground beef. Any vegetables you have on hand will also work, but bell peppers go particularly well with the flavors.

    Serves: 2 servings
    Ingredients
    • 6 ounces rice stick noodles
    • ¼ cup ketchup
    • 3 tablespoon fish sauce
    • 2 tablespoon sugar
    • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
    • 2 teaspoons + 4 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
    • 6 ounces peeled shrimp, deveined
    • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
    • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
    • ¾ cup sliced green onions
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 2 tablespoon chopped dry-roasted peanuts
    • 2 lime wedges, for serving
    Instructions
    1. Place the noodles in a large bowl, add hot water to cover, and let stand for 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

      I loved the sound of this dish and my partner and I were all ready to make it for a friend with food allergies when 🙁 my partner informed me it wouldn’t work, too many things in it that our friend can’t have, like the eggs, bean sprouts and maybe the fish sauce…
      No problem, u have tons of other recipes, I am sure I can find some thing that will work with the shrimp we have.. 🙂
