Zoodle Pad Thai

My time in Thailand totally inspired me to create this lightened up version of pad thai, full of amazing veggies & organic tofu, you can always use some chicken cubes but I kept it vegetarian today…. give it a shot!

What You Will Need:

To make the sauce:

• 1 TBL coconut sugar
• 2 TBL tamari or soy sauce
• 2 TBL fish sauce
• 4 TBL organic sesame oil
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes
• juice of 1 lime
• pinch of salt

For the Base:

• 5 Zucchinis
• 2 blocks of organic tofu
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup organic edamame beans
• 1 pack of organic Asian veggie mix ( I only use this because of the water chesnuts & its quick, if you can use fresh veggies of choice like bean sprouts, carrots and bean sprouts).
• 1 cup crushed peanuts
• 1 TBL of organic olive oil
• hot peppers * optional

What To Do:

1. In a large pan heat up some olive oil and begin to saute the minced garlic
2. While the garlic is sauteing take the tofu & press out all of the water with a clean tea towel, really press hard.
3. Cut up the pressed tofu into little cubes
4. Throw in the tofu & pan fry until golden brown & transfer to a plate,  in a separate pot cook your veggies, either fresh or frozen
5. In the mean time bust out your veggie spiralizer buy one here OR just use a veggie peeler to make your zoodles!
6. When you are finished spiralizing all 5 of your zuc’s take a paper towel and press out all of the water out of the zoodles.
7. Take the tofu out of the pan and add some more olive oil in & throw in the edamame and veggies, cook for about 3 minutes
8. While your veggie mix is pan frying, make the pad thai sauce up ( just whisk everything together and add in )
9. Next up, add in your zoodles & 1/2 cup of peanuts and stir to combine everything up
10. Now add the pan fried tofu chunks and turn off the heat and let heat through for about 2 more minutes
11. Scoop your glorious Zoodle Pad Thai into a cute bowl and garnish with more peanuts!
