I just love Pad Thai. Now that I am vegan, I wanted to make a Vegan Pad Thai. This vegan pad Thai came out really yummy! In addition to being vegan, this healthy pad Thai recipe is also gluten free and grain free! I used zucchini noodles to make this healthy pad Thai recipe. I just love my spiralizer
I highly recommend keeping the sauce and the vegetables separate until you are ready to eat. The zucchini noodles can release moisture that can make the sauce seem a bit watery. I actually spiralized my zucchini the day before I went to use it in the recipe. I just stored it in a strainer with a bowl underneath to catch the excess water. It seemed to work well. We actually ate this meal cold, but I am guessing you can heat it up as well. This may not taste exactly like traditional pad Thai, but it is a great option for vegans. Very yummy!

- 1/2 tsp fresh minced ginger
- 1 T chopped cilantro

For the pasta

- 2 large zucchini spiralized

- Mix all the vegetables together in another bowl .
- Pour sauce over the vegetables and serve immediately.
- You can also add my homemade sriracha to this recipe.
Recipe Notes
I used both peanut butter and tahini because I was short on peanut butter. Feel free to use peanut butter by itself if you like. If you are guten free or paleo, I highly recommend using the coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and almond butter instead of peanut butter. This should last in the fridge for at least 4 days. It's best to keep the sauce and vegetables separate until you are ready to eat them. Enjoy!
