Imagine delicate, translucent noodles, lightly stir-fried with crisp bell peppers and fragrant green onions, all brought together by a luscious homemade sauce. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that dance on the palate.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and adaptability. The noodles, a low-calorie option, provide a blank canvas for the other ingredients to shine. To boost the nutritional value, consider incorporating colorful vegetables such as shredded carrots, bean sprouts, or even chopped broccoli.

These additions not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute essential vitamins and minerals. Transform this versatile dish into a complete meal by adding a protein of your choice. Tofu, with its subtle flavor and satisfying texture, is an excellent vegan option.

Alternatively, explore plant-based meat alternatives to add heartiness. The sauce, a carefully balanced blend of sweet, sour, and savory notes, is the key to achieving authentic Thai flavor. Feel free to customize the level of heat to suit your preferences by adjusting the amount of chili sauce.

A touch of natural sweetener can be used sparingly to balance the spiciness, creating a harmonious and well-rounded flavor profile. Whether you're seeking a light and refreshing side dish or a flavorful and nutritious main course, this recipe is sure to impress. Its vibrant colors, enticing aromas, and delightful textures make it a feast for the senses.

Prepare to be transported to the bustling streets of Thailand with every delicious bite.

Instructions

    1.
    Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chili sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar substitute, and liquid stevia in a small bowl. The peanut butter just needs to be broken up in the sauce instead of completely whisked in. Set the pad thai sauce near your stove for later.
    2.
    Thinly slice or julienne red bell pepper, and chop the green onion. Begin heating sesame oil in a wok or non-stick saute pan over high heat. Once the oil is smoking, add the peppers and onion, and cook them down until the peppers start turning golden.
    3.
    Drain your shirataki noodles. Move the peppers and onion in your pan to the edges, and add the shirataki noodles to the center. Cook the shirataki noodles over high heat until they dry up a little and start frying to golden.
    4.
    Once the noodles are golden, pour the pad thai sauce into the wok or pan. Keep the heat high while the sauce bubbles and reduces. The noodles will absorb some of the sauce and fry more.
    5.
    Once the noodles and sauce are at the right texture, take your pan off the heat. Stir in chopped cilantro and peanuts to complete the dish. Serve hot.
