I love the flavors of Pad Thai, but because of food sensitivities, I am unable to order it in any Thai restaurant. After trying many different recipes and adding my own flare, I have come up with this yummy soy-free, egg-free, shrimp-free, tamarind-free and fish sauce-free entree.
I used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and fish sauce. You can find coconut aminos at Whole Foods or Sprouts. Instead of adding white sugar or agave, I chose to use coconut sugar. It can be purchased at Whole Foods or Sprouts.
Enjoy!
