Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Stock pot
  • Frying pan

Ingredients

Sauce:

  • ¼ cup 60 ml fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon 15 ml coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon 15 g/0.5 oz Sriracha
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 4 tablespoons 64 g /2.3 oz almond butter or coconut butter
  • Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons erythritol or 5 to 7 drops stevia extract

Stir -fry:

  • 2 packs 400 g/14.1 oz shirataki noodles
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon 70 g/2.5 oz ghee, divided
  • 1.1 pounds 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 medium 30 g/1.1 oz spring onions, sliced
  • 2 cups 100 g/3.5 oz bean sprouts
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • ¼ cup 15 g/0.5 oz flaked almonds or coconut, toasted
  • 2 cups 140 g/4.9 oz shredded red cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons 30 ml fresh lime juice
  • Small bunch cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Chop your ingredients.
  • Prepare the sauce: Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl, including the erythritol, if using. Set aside.
  • Prepare the shirataki noodles: Wash the shirataki noodles thoroughly and boil them for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well. Place the noodles in a hot dry pan. Fry over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Using tongs, toss the noodles as they cook. Set aside. 
  • Prepare the omelets: Heat a pan greased with ½ tablespoon of ghee. Beat 2 eggs, pour into the hot pan, and swirl to coat the surface in order to make a very thin omelet. Cook over a medium-high heat for a couple of minutes or until firm on top. Flip over with a spatula and cook for 30 seconds more. When done, transfer to a plate. Grease the pan with the remaining ghee and repeat with the remaining 2 eggs. Set aside to cool down, then roll up the omelets and cut into thin strips.
  • Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces. Heat a large pan greased with the remaining ¼ cup (55 g/1.9 oz) ghee and cook over a medium-high heat until pale and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the spring onions. Cook over a medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the omelet strips and bean sprouts and cook for 1 minute more while stirring. Add the prepared sauce and shirataki noodles, cook briefly until heated through, and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To toast the almond flakes, place them on a dry hot pan and cook over a medium-high heat until fragrant for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep stirring to prevent burning. Serve the pad thai with cabbage, lime juice, cilantro, and toasted almonds.
