Quick and Easy Keto Pad Thai Recipe - Home. Made. Interest. (2024)

What You’ll Need

• Rice wine vinegar
• Fish sauce
• Lime juice
• Granulated artificial sweetener – You can use whatever brand you prefer. We used Splenda.
• Eggs
• Peanut oil – If you don’t want to buy a bottle of this you can substitute with olive oil.
• Garlic
• Zucchini – You’ll be spiralizing these. You can use a spiralizer or if your grocery store carries fresh zucchini noodles you can buy them already made.
• Bean sprouts
• Scallions
• Cilantro
• Peanuts

How To Make It

Make the Sauce – In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, and the granulated artificial sweetener of your choice. Bring everything to a boil over medium heat.

Cook the Eggs – In a small bowl, beat eggs. Pour egg over the boiling sauce and allow to cook, breaking up with a fork until just done. Remove from heat and set aside.

Saute the Zucchini – In a skillet, sauté peanut oil, and garlic. Add zucchini. Sauté for two minutes on medium heat. Stir in scallions. Add sauce, cilantro, and bean sprouts. Sauté on medium heat for three more minutes. Garnish with a teaspoon of chopped peanuts.

Things You Can Add

Chicken – dice it up, then toss it into the mix. It will add some extra protein and make it even more satisfying.

Shrimp – Shrimp pairs beautifully with the vibrant flavors in the Pad Thai. You can use any size of shrimp you like, but the medium is a great size to start with.

Pork – Cook up the pork ahead of time and mix it into the saucepan to warm it up.

Tofu – this is a great way to add some protein while keeping it a vegetarian dish.

What Is Pad Thai?

Is Keto Pad Thai Spicy?

No, this version of the recipe isn’t spicy at all. However, if you want to add some heat, you certainly can! Mix in a few crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper if you want some spice. Everyone loves different flavors!

What Can You Use Instead of Fish Sauce?

How to Store Leftovers

If you end up with leftovers you can save them! Simply allow the dish time to cool completely. Once it has cooled, you can put it into a sealed container and store it in the fridge up to 3 days. It’s important to note that zucchini noodles can make the dish a little soggy, so the longer it sits, the more likely this is going to happen.

Reheat in the microwave for a minute or two. Or another option is to reheat it in a skillet. This will warm it up rather quickly and will help evaporate any extra water that has escaped out of the zucchini. You don’t want to heat it for too long, or the noodles will become a little mushy.

Can You Freeze It?

Unfortunately, Pad Thai isn’t an ideal recipe for freezing. The zoodles and other ingredients don’t lend well to being frozen. So I recommend either eating it when it’s first made or storing leftovers in the fridge instead of attempting to freeze it.
