Carrot Noodle Pad Thai is made with shaved carrots instead of traditional noodles for a healthy twist on a takeout favorite. You don\’t even have to think twice about skipping takeout. This delicious dish is so good that it tastes like a cheat meal but way healthier!
It’s traditionally made with rice noodles (which were borrowed from Chinese cuisine), egg, tofu, dried shrimp, and a salty-sweet-sour sauce. The sauce is usually made simply with palm sugar, tamarind, and fish sauce or soy sauce. You can find an authentic preparation here from Hot Thai Kitchen!
