I love Pad Thai but it is one of the heavier ethnic dishes that I crave. Today, I’m sharing a recipe to lighten up the classic meal using Shirataki Noodles.
Shirataki Noodles are gluten free, non-GMO tofu noodles. One package has just 20 calories! Thanks to their massive volume and low calorie content, they leave you feeling full without realizing your missing anything! You can buy them at Whole Foods or your local grocery store in the tofu refrigerated section.
I will be the first to admit, I am not a recipe maven so I used the help of the internet to find a recipe that worked best.

Skinny Pad Thai with Shirataki Noodles
Adapted from SkinnyTaste.com
Ingredients:
- 2 packages of Shirataki Noodles
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 6 oz medium-sized cooked shrimp (you can also use raw, make sure they are peeled)
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 5 oz bean sprouts
- 1 oz Scallions, chopped
- 1 tbsp crushed peanuts
- lime wedges
- 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp chili powder to taste

I LOVE pad thai! This looks like the perfect recipe--I wonder how the coconut sugar is going to taste like!
Wow, this looks great. Change the eggs for a tofu scramble and it would be a bangin’ vegan recipe! Thanks for the inspiration!
Can you find Shirataki noodles in the average grocery store? This looks delish!!
How many servings does this reciepe make? Can’t wait to cook this for my boyfriend!
