Vegan Pad Thai for Two
You’ll find no more universal dish in Thailand’s cuisine than Pad Thai. Though generally made with rice paste, vegetables, and shrimp, it comes in as many variations as there are Thai households. Here’s a raw vegan version that’s finger-licking good. The dish artfully blends Asian flavors with vegetables.
This recipe is ideal for a romantic dinner, where you’d want to share delicious dishes while eating healthy. We substitute coconut for soy, and noodles made from zucchini, carrots, and sprouts for the usual rice noodles. Try this one on Valentine’s Day!
