Low Carb Vegan Pad Thai

Making Keto Thai food is super easy with this recipe! Make this vegan pad thai as a side dish to a main meal or add more ingredients to make it a larger dish. Low-carb shirataki noodles are fried in a wok with peppers and green onions. Then, the ingredients are simmered in a yummy pad thai sauce you’ll make with just a handful of ingredients. If you don’t have a wok, a non-stick saute pan will do just fine. Make sure you have all the other ingredients, as they’re crucial to a classic homemade pad thai dish.

Do shirataki noodles have any nutritional value?

Shirataki noodles are used in many recipes on Carb Manager because they’re so low in carbs. They may not add any nutritional value to your meal, but they’re perfect for the Keto diet as a noodle option. Since they typically have zero carbs, you can add other ingredients that provide the nutrition you need.

Make it a meal

Turn your Keto-friendly Thai food from a side dish to the main course. For vegan protein, it’s recommended you add tofu to your pad thai. However, you could also add a low-carb vegan meat alternative that you enjoy. If you have a favorite substitution that fits into a Keto diet, let other users know in the comment section what you like to use!

Make the dish less spicy

It’s really simple to make this pad thai dish less spicy. Simply omit the chili sauce from the pad thai sauce. No other spices are added to the dish. You could also substitute the chili sauce with your favorite type, like Sriracha, to please your palate. Combat some of the heat with liquid stevia, which adds zero carbs to your meal. Use it sparingly, as one drop of liquid stevia is extremely sweet.
