    I love Thai food so there is no surprise that Im a big fan of Pad Thai, or Thai stir-fried rice noodles. If you have dined at Thai restaurants, Im sure you have had Pad Thai. Pad Thai is quite possibly the most famous dish outside of Thailand. This version has been lightened up. If you would like to make it low carb, swap out the rice noodles for zucchini noodles. Another Thai favorite is my Thai Basil Chicken and Bang Bang Chicken Salad.,Ive been a huge fan of Bee of Rasa Malaysia and author of Easy Chinese Recipes (affil link) for many years and recently we became friends. Bee spent a few months traveling Thailand and when she returned I asked if she could share a lighter version of the Thai classic. Pad Thai is probably my most requested makeover, so who better than to have Bee give us her authentic version with a lighter touch!,For vegetarians, leave out the shrimp and add more tofu or add more veggies!,Make it shrimp pad thai by swapping the shrimp for small chunks of chicken breast.,Add more bean sprouts and reduce the rice noodles for more nutrients or lighter dish.,The fried tofu is a key ingredient in authentic Pad Thai but feel free to opt it out.,Alt=,Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice,Bangin Good Shrimp,Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps,Mexican Shrimp Diablo,Honey Garlic Shrimp
