Low-FODMAP 30-Minute Pad Thai Perfection Recipe; Gluten-free, Vegetarian

Printer Friendly Version

This is the rich, creamy decadent low-FODMAP Pad Thai recipe that you and I have been waiting for!

While eating out low-FODMAP is much simpler than it used to be, Thai and other Asian restaurants aren’t the easiest choices. Many sauces are so complex and elaborate, that it may be tricky to navigate these venues safely.

But take heart! This low-FODMP Vegetarian Pad Thai Recipe is rich and peanutty, and better than any restaurant Pad Thai I have ever had.  I guarantee you will love this low-FODMAP Pad Thai. It is also so easy.

Ingredients

For Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup water (or low-FODMAP vegetable stock)

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or ½ tsp ground ginger)

For the Main:

  • Scramble egg
  • Add noodles to skillet with tofu/egg and pour sauce over the top
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly
  • Add bean sprouts and cook 1 minute, or less if you prefer your sprouts crunchy
