Healthy Pad Thai

Pad Thai is one of the most tending recipes on the internet right now.  Any time you see the word Pad in the name of a Thai dish you know it is stir fried.  That's what pad means.

Ingredients:  ( we have slightly altered the ingredients on the box to make it a bit healthier.)

• 1 Pkg. Annie Chun's Pad Thai 100% Whole Grain Rice Noodles.  (I promise they did not pay me to write their brand but if you buy it through my amazon portal I will get 10% and put it back into this website.  :))
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 shallots, thinly sliced
• 8-10 medium sliced fresh 8 oz. chicken or diced
• 4 egg whites (remember, 1 yolk has 106% of your RDA of cholesterol and if you are like me you are horrified of dying of a heart attack or stroke)
• 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
• 4 tablespoon olive oil
• For the sauce:
  • 4 tbsp. lime juice
  • 3 tbsp. fish sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp. stevia, we used Truvia for baking
  • Stir all ingredients into a small bowl until the stevia dissolves completely

Directions:

1.  First you'll want to cook the noodles by bringing four to five quarts of water to a boil add the noodles in the boil for 25 minutes and then drain and rinse under cold water.

2.  Heat the wok or pan over high heat.

3.   Add 2 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, shallots and chicken.  Cook until the chicken is cooked, set aside.

4.  Add remaining 2 tbsp. oil and 4 egg whites then scramble.  Reduce heat  to low;  add sauce and noodles.

5.   Toss until well mixed.  Add your protein and bean sprouts.  Toss well.

6.  Garnish with cilantro, peanuts, scallions, and lime wedges.
