Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai – Nourishing You Preview Recipe

18/06/2020 By Caralee Leave a Comment

I know I have been doing a lot of teasing around my new book Nourishing You, and I have had a lot of requests for a little peak into the recipes. So, I thought I would share with you one of my top 10 favourite dishes out of Nourishing You, my Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai! 

Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai

This dish is out of the ‘Better than takeaway’ section of Nourishing You and is perfect if you are craving takeaway, just without the added nasties.

Zucchini noodles are my favourite way to enjoy zucchini. It is such a versatile vegetable that doesn’t have a load of flavour, so it takes on the flavour of sauces in a similar way that noodles or pasta do. You can purchase a spiraliser from any large department store or online.

For more beautiful and nourishing recipes like this one, you can pre-order your very own copy of Nourishing You here. 

Tip — Add sliced chicken or prawns by cooking them in the pan after you cook the egg and setting them aside. Add the meat ingredient back in at the end.
