QUICK VEGGIE PAD THAI

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a large bowl and completely cover with boiling water. Allow them to soak and soften while you prepare the sauce and vegetables, checking and tossing the noodles occasionally to separate them and see when they are ready (they will still have a bit of a bite), 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• For the sauce: Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, fish sauce, chile garlic sauce, lime zest and juice in a blender, along with the whites of the scallions, garlic and ginger. Blend to combine, 15 to 20 seconds. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Next, throw in the asparagus and red bell pepper, cooking for another minute or two. Push the veggies to the outer edge of the skillet and add the egg, stirring in the center of the skillet until the eggs scramble, then mix in with the vegetables. To ensure the vegetables keep their color and crunch, remove the vegetable-egg mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the noodles and the sauce to the hot skillet and stir to combine. Allow to come to a boil and cook, tossing to coat completely and allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vegetables back to the skillet and carefully toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water. Remove the skillet from the heat and toss in the bean sprouts. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the chopped peanuts, cilantro, reserved scallion greens and as much sriracha as your heart desires.

PALEO SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PAD THAI WITH VEGGIE NOODLES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Season your chicken with salt and pepper, and a little bit of the cayenne pepper and ginger powder. If you have time, brown your chicken in a cast iron skillet to get the flavors going. This step is completely optional. In your crock, add your coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir well. If you are using a full-fat coconut milk, make sure you stir until the coconut milk is fully dissolved into the chicken stock. Add your SunButter, coconut aminos, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, 2 green onions chopped including the whites, cayenne, and red pepper. Stir well until your SunButter is completely dissolved. Place your chicken breasts or thighs into your base liquid. Turn your zucchinis into veggie noodles with your spiral slicer, shred your carrots, and wash your bean sprouts. Toss your zucchini noodles, carrots, and bean sprouts together on your counter to mix them well. Nest, or balance your veggie noodles on top of your liquid and meat base in your slow cooker, and press down every so slightly. The goal is for them to be steamed, not stewed. Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours on low if you are using a 4-Quart Slow cooker. Cook for no more than 6 hours on low (5 is ideal) if you are using a 6-Quart slow cooker. To serve, remove the noodles first and set aside, making sure they are strained of any retained liquid. Removed your chicken breasts or thighs. Debone if necessary, then chop into strips. Add back some of the remaining sauce/broth from the crock to the meat and mix well. Place your meat and sauce over your noodles, and garnish with green onions (scallions), chopped cilantro, and chopped cashews. Enjoy!

CHICKEN PAD THAI

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in warm water for about 20 mins or until al dente, then drain. Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing together the tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, lime and siracha until smooth.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan or a wok over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip in the chicken and cook for 5 mins until golden. Add the coriander stalks, spring onions and turnip (if using), and fry for 1 min. Add in the soaked noodles, 50ml of the chicken stock and the prepared sauce. Keep stir-frying the noodles until they're starting to dry, then add the sauce. Stir everything together and cook over a high heat for 3 mins until the noodles are just cooked. Add a splash more water if needed.
• When the sauce has reduced, scatter over the beansprouts and fold them into the noodles. Push everything to one side of the pan, then pour in the rest of the oil on the empty side and crack in the eggs. Fry for 2 mins until the white is just set and beginning to crisp around the edges, then roughly scramble the runny yolks in with the whites. When the eggs have just set, combine with the noodles.
• Scatter over half of the peanuts and quickly toss together. Divide between two plates with the remaining peanuts and spring onion, the lime wedges and soy sauce on the side.
