I love Pad Thai, but I don’t love the blood sugar spike that comes with the rice noodles and sugary sauce. This recipe offers all the same classic flavors and textures over a bed of low-carb, fiber-rich Miracle Noodles. It’s packed with veggies, protein-rich eggs, and tofu to give you tons of nutrients in every bite. If you don’t do soy, feel free to substitute it with chicken or just omit it altogether! And if you do eat soy, I always recommend buying non-GMO, organic soy and choosing sprouted or fermented products. I want this dish to be something everyone can enjoy, so you could also omit the eggs and fish sauce to make this dish vegan. If you’re not familiar with Miracle Noodles, also called shirataki noodles, they’re made from konjac fiber which makes them great for balancing blood sugar and supporting good gut bacteria. Wishing you health and happiness, Mark Hyman, MD
