Raw Pad Thai Noodles

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pad Thai is a very popular dish both around the world and here in Thailand. Unfortunately, it is not one of the healthiest Thai foods due to the refined oils and white rice noodles that are generally the foundation of this meal.

To make a healthier raw version of Pad Thai, kelp noodles are a wonderful substitute. They are made entirely of sea vegetables, are fat-free and very low in calories.

Here we combine them with a delicious almond sauce – that is reminiscent of peanut satay – with crispy vegetables to recreate one of everyone’s favorite Asian dishes.
