Paleo Pad Thai
A great guilt-free twist on a classic takeout favorite! Substitute cabbage for noodles and add your favorite protein. Try: chicken, pork, shrimp, fish or an egg!
This recipe uses Coconut Oil, which has a higher smoking point, making it great for sauteeing the cabbage and chicken in this recipe. It’s also full of nutrients, antioxidants, and helps support the absorption of other minerals.
Serves 4-6.
INGREDIENTS
1 head cabbage (green or purple)
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil ( can substitute olive oil)
1 tablespoon of sesame oil ( can substitute olive, or chia oil are great substitutes!)
1 medium white onion
4 cloves garlic
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch parsley
1 lemon (1/2 of the juice for the sauce and 1/2 for the cabbage in the pan)
Generous pinch of sea salt & pepper
Sesame or CHIA seeds to garnish
3 large Organic Chicken Breasts (optional)
SAUCE INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons of Sriracha (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons of almond butter
2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Thinly slice the cabbage into “noodle-like” strips. Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Roughly chop cilantro and parsley (leave a few whole sprigs for garnishing). Set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, add the almond butter, Sriracha, lemon juice & apple cider vinegar. Mix to incorporate and set aside.
- Cook your protein (Grilled Chicken for this version): Cut chicken breasts into medium sized cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the chicken pieces and grill until cooked through. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the onion and sauté for 1- 2 minutes just before translucent. Add the cabbage, sesame oil, and garlic and sauté until tender leaving a bit of “crunch” left in the cabbage.
- Add the sauce and incorporate until evenly blended and heated through. Turn off the heat and add in the cilantro and parsley and incorporate.
- Plate the “pad thai” and place grilled chicken atop. Garnish with chia or sesame seeds & enjoy!
