Pad Thai under 200 calories - also vegan and gluten-free

January 2 always feels like the first real day of the New Year.  For me, January 1 is dedicated to recovering from New Years Eve celebrations and generally being lazy. After a season of overindulgence, Brad and I shook off the last of the holiday fog today.  We packed up our decorations, cleaned the house, and took a beautiful hike through Runyon Canyon.

We’re feeling motivated to eat extra light to make up for the past month and this dish is definitely a great way to kick things off. Under 200 calories, vegan, and gluten-free, this Pad Thai is as delicious as the traditional. It’s a Christmas miracle!

Super fast and easy Miracle Noodle Pad Thai - vegan and gluten-free

Actually, it’s just the miracle of shirataki noodles. If you’ve read this blog before, you’ve heard this spiel about 10 times already. For those who haven’t heard, shirataki noodles are zero-calorie vegan, gluten-free noodles made from the konjac yam.  We absolutely love them and they’ll be playing a huge role in our 2015 healthy eating plan.

Back to the recipe…

Shirataki Noodle Pad Thai

Pad Thai is defined by the sauce.  Tart, sweet, and salty, Pad Thai sauce is traditionally made from fish sauce, tamarind, and cane sugar.  The trickiest part of making it vegan was to find a substitute for the salty, umami fish sauce.   A combination of mushroom broth and soy sauce does the trick.  Just don’t skimp on the tamarind – I tried a few pastes and the brick of pure dried fruit is perfect.  After a swap of soft tofu for the egg, the Pad Thai is ready to go.

Add in any extra vegetables you love or mix in some pre-cooked chicken or shrimp for the carnivores in your life.

Vegan Shirataki Pad Thai Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 7-oz packages shirataki noodles (I use Miracle Noodle)
  • 1/2 c shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions, green and whites separated; whites chopped and greens thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 tbs garlic, minced
  • 1 tbs ginger, minced
  • 1-1/2 c bean sprouts
  • 6 oz soft tofu
  • 2 tbs cilanto, chopped
  • 2 tbs peanuts, coarsley chopped
  • sriracha, to taste
  • lime wedges, for serving

  • Pad Thai Sauce
  • 1/4 c wet tamarind
  • 1 c boiling water
  • 1 cube mushroom bouillon
  • 1/4 c + 1 tbs low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 2 tbs table sugar
  • 1 tbs PB2 (you can substitute peanut butter)

Instructions

Prepare the shirataki noodles

Drain the noodles and rinse thoroughly with hot water. Boil noodles for one minute and drain. Place in a wok or large pan over high heat and dry fry until water is dissolved. Set aside.

Prepare the Pad Thai sauce

Soak the tamarind and bouillon in the boiling water for at least 15 minutes, mashing and whisking periodically. Strain through cheesecloth or force through a fine sieve, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Discard the stems and seeds.

Add soy sauce, sugars, and PB2 to the tamarind mixture. Whisk until sugars are dissolved and set aside.

Stir-fry the Pad Thai

Place a wok or large pan over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick spray. Add shallots, the white parts of the green onions, and red pepper. Stir fry until shallots are tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Add garlic, ginger, and bean sprouts and saute until fragrant, about another minute. Deglaze with a small amount of sauce if anything threatens to stick.

Add tofu and noodles, stir to combine breaking tofu into small pieces that resemble egg.

Add remaining sauce and green onions and stir to combine.

Garnish with cilantro and peanuts. Serve with sriracha and lime wedges.

    Just entered the contest and added the rest of the ingredients to my shopping list! This looks fantastic. We have been on a rice-noodle-and-peanut-sauce kick lately, so I am really excited to try my hand at pad thai AND shiratiki noodles! Also love that I can eat an entire recipe by myself and not feel like I need to spent an extra hour at the gym the next day. 🙂

      Hi Elena!

      I buy them from either the Miracle Noodle site (you can get 10% off with coupon code AFF10) or on Amazon – whichever has a better deal going 🙂

      I know what you meant. Things like honey, white sugar, and Worcestershire sauce can trip you up.

    Omg! This was so good! The sauce and add-ins make the noodles so flavorful! I didn’t have wet tamarind so instead I used some lime juice and brown sugar. It worked perfectly and was still so flavorful! My family loves it and I will definitely make again!
