I have to admit, I was pretty apprehensive about a raw pad Thai. The noodles are my favourite part and filling – but this was amazing. It is a good mix of vegetables. You can have this as it is or add any type of protein you want. I used fried egg, which was enough for me, but you can make this your own.
Salad:
1 large zucchini
1 red capsicum
1 large carrot
¼ red cabbage
1 cup of bean sprouts
½ cup of walnuts
1 chilli for heat
Coriander leaves
Peanut Sauce:
½ peanut butter
¼ lime juice
2 table spoons soy sauce
2 table spoons of sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons water
Directions:
Grate zucchini and carrot into long thin strips. Slice capsicum and red cabbage into thin slices. Add all into a bowl and add bean sprouts. Crush the walnuts and rip the leaves of the coriander and add both to the bowl. Mix everything together. Slice and add chilli for heat if desired.
For the sauce, mix all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Plate up the salad, add protein if you want and add sauce over the top. Serve with a wedge of lime.
