Of all the many delicious Thai dishes out there, Pad Thai would have to rate up there as one of the best. Only problem is, it’s often cooked up with a few (unnecessary) nasties in it like; sugar, refined vegetable oils, MSG and of course (gluggy) noodles. For a super healthy, noodle free version without any of the usual nasties, try this one!
