I recently purchased a spiralizer for the house, in search of a great way to encourage myself to eat more healthy foods. The spiralizer is a great little invention for turning vegetables into noodle-like food so that you can consume less calories and carbohydrates.

The first thing that I wanted to try with the spiralizer was a pad thai. I was absolutely delighted with how this came out, a spicy and filling little dish.

The trick is with this dish, don’t worry too much about the measurements, add as little or as much as you like.

To feed two people

  1. Four carrots
  2. Daikon (Japanese radish)
  3. Fresh ginger
  4. Soy sauce
  5. Spring onions (a handful)
  6. Chicken breast (two)
  7. Sriaccha or some other spicy sauce
  8. Mushrooms or spinach (a handful)
  9. Peanut butter (spoonful)
  10. Coriander ( a handful)
  11. Garlic
  12. Lemon (optional)

Instructions

With your spiralizer, turn your carrots into noodles.  Boil in a pan.

Chop your daikon into small cubes, add to bowl. Add a handful of coriander, spring onion, two crushed garlic, douse with soy sauce and a spoonful of peanut butter; add some lemon. Crush some ginger, add a little bit of water and then mix.

After a few minutes take your carrot off of the boil,  add chopped chicken breast to a frying pan until it starts to look almost cooked

Add your carrot after straining; then with that add your mix of ginger, garlic and vegetables to the frying pain.

Cook through, finish with another handful of coriander.
