I absolutely love Thai food and have been interested in putting together a raw Pad Thai recipe. I wanted to add a good variety of fibrous veggies, with as many colors as I could find. Raw Rainbow Veggie Pad thai, is great to make ahead of time in large batches for leftovers but also quick enough to make for dinner- it’s deliciously simple.
Raw Rainbow Veggie Pad Thai
I can vouch for this pad Thai recipe—it’s really fresh, unique, and delicious. It took a little while to get the carrots into noodles with my julienne peeler but there is no actual cooking required. Which saves a ton of time. Once you have all your vegetables prepped, you just whip up the peanut dressing and toss all your ingredients together. And you’re done, simple as that!
If your prepping for your week add about one-fourth cup of peanut dressing to the bottom of your mason jar and then layer your veggies shown similar to the picture here.
One of my favorite ingredients in this recipe is zucchini noodles, also known as zoodles (zucchini + noodles). Zucchini is an incredibly versatile vegetable. It also has the ideal texture reminiscent of noodles, they’re flexible and have an “al dente” type of texture to them when eaten raw.
Also note, this dish doesn’t have to be eaten raw if this is a little too adventurous for your tastes, you can lightly steam this dish for two minutes on the stove until warm. I used a julienne peeler for the carrots and a spiralizer for the zucchini. One of my favorite tips for eating a more plant-based diet is to have all the tools necessary to get creative in the kitchen.
