Shirley Bovshow’s Diabetes-Friendly Pad Thai Recipe!

Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:

- 8 oz Shirataki Noodles (low carb noodle replacement, fettuccine style)

- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar Substitute (or to taste)

- 2 tbsp Fish Sauce

- 3 tbsp Unsweetened Tamarind Concentrate (Thai style)

- 1.7 - 2 oz Water

- 6 oz Extra Firm Tofu (cubed)

- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

- 6 or more Pre-Cooked Shrimp (peeled and deveined)

- 3 tbsp Coconut Oil (for frying)

- 1 cup Bean Sprouts

- 2 Green Onions (sliced, for garnish)

- 2 tbsp Peanuts (toasted and chopped, for garnishing)

- 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped, for garnishing)

- 2 tbsp Fresh Mint (optional, chopped, for garnishing)

- Lime Wedges (for serving)

- 1 diced Shallot

- 5-6 cloves Garlic (minced)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. SAUTE AROMATICS: In a small pan, sauté the diced shallot and minced garlic in 1 tbsp of coconut oil until translucent. Set aside.

2. PREPARE THE SHIRATAKI NOODLES: Rinse the Shirataki noodles under cold water, drain, and pat dry. Set aside.

3. MAKE THE PAD THAI SAUCE: In a small saucepan, caramelize the brown sugar substitute over low heat until liquefied. Then add the fish sauce, unsweetened tamarind concentrate, and water along with the sautéed shallots and garlic. Simmer until the sauce thickens to a "runny honey" texture—about 5 minutes. Set aside.

4. PREPARE AND STIR-FRY THE TOFU: Squeeze excess water out of the tofu block and cut it into small cubes. In a large frying pan or wok, add **2 tbsp** of coconut oil and stir-fry the tofu on all sides until browned. Set aside.

5. STIR-FRY THE PROTEINS: In the same pan, heat the pre-cooked shrimp for about a minute, then move them to the side of the pan and scramble the 2 beaten eggs. Once cooked, set aside.

6. DRY-FRY THE SHIRATAKI NOODLES: In a large pan or wok, "dry-fry" the Shirataki noodles without oil for a few minutes to remove excess water. This will help noodles absorb the sauce.

7. COMBINE THE INGREDIENTS: Add the tofu, shrimp, and eggs together with the Pad Thai sauce and stir into the Shirataki noodles. Add a handful of washed bean sprouts and heat for a few minutes until all ingredients and sauce are mixed.

8. PLATE AND SERVE: Garnish the Pad Thai with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, fresh mint, and sliced green onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Hot sauce is optional!

9.GLUCOSE LEVELS: Don’t forget to check your glucose levels with the FreeStyle Libre 3 System before eating, and again after eating at 1 hour and again at 2 hours.
