I used 4 chicken breasts instead of 2. Rather than measure out the spaghetti squash I just used a whole squash. I also don't like peas and neither does Matt so instead I added green onions in place of the peas. I topped the dish with fresh cilantro and slivered almonds. It ended up giving us about 4 servings. The sauce didn't needed to be changed, was more than enough to give everything great flavor. SO GOOD!!
I would recommend cooking the squash ahead of time to save time.
Ingredients for Pad Thai:
- Grilled chicken thigh or breast, diced (portioned for two).
- 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
- 1 cup snap peas, slivered
- 1/2 onion, sliced thin
- 2 eggs
- 1 TBSP coconut aminos (I found it at Whole Foods)
- Cooking fat of choice (I used coconut oil)
- 2 batches of Sunshine Sauce (recipe at the bottom!)
Heat some cooking fat in a pan over medium heat. Saute the onion and snap peas until crispy-tender, not too long. Then set aside.
Heat a little more cooking fat in the pan. Mix the raw eggs with the coconut aminos. Pour in the egg and let spread out into a pancake. Cook the eggs in a flat sheet until they are set and beginning to brown, then flip to lightly brown the other side. Cut the eggs into strips and set aside.
Heat a little more fat in the pan. Add the spaghetti squash, snap peas/onions, eggs and chicken. Stir fry until heated through. Add the Sunshine Sauce and stir fry until everything is well blended and hot.
Top with any or all of these:
- Chopped Cashews, almonds or sunflower seeds
- Chopped scallions
- Chopped cilantro
- A squeeze of lime juice
Double the recipe below for the Pad Thai and DO NOT USE THE WATER.
Ingredients:
- 2 TBSP organic Sunbutter (if you are doing Whole30, be careful only the Organic Sunbutter brand doesn't have added sugar etc, I made this mistake so will have to be more careful next time!)
- 2 TBSP lime juice
- 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic paste
- 1 tsp coconut aminos
- 2 tsp coconut milk
- Dried or fresh ginger, to taste
- 2 TBSP water, as needed
Blend all ingredients (except water) in a food processor or blender. If desired, add water slowly until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Eat.
** I just used a fork to blend in a bowl and it worked just fine!
