This Spicy Pumpkin Seed Butter Pad Thai makes for one flavorful and healthy vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free lunch or dinner ready in only 20 minutes!
This is hands-down one of the most flavorful and delicious recipes I have ever created . . .
This dish was wholly inspired by these amazing organic rice noodles from Perfect Earth Foods. They are my new favorite rice noodles to cook with by far! These noodles have an amazing flavor & texture, and seemingly never get soggy and they hold together amazingly well – which is hard to come by in gluten-free land, am I right?
Now this dish…where do I start? This pumpkin seed butter sauce is out-of-this-world tasty. It’s the star of the show. Perfectly sweet, savory, spicy…all rolled into one. All in all, this Pad Thai is:
Healthy & comforting
Sweet, savory, spicy
Filling & satisfying texturally
Vegan
Gluten-free
Soy-free
Nut-free
Free of refined sugars
And ridiculously easy to make!
I cannot recommend this dish (or these noodles) enough! I’m going to be making this again and again myself and I SO hope you feel the same way, too!
Enjoy. xo.
