  • Thai food?

    Oh, sweet Thai food, how I love thee...

    Anyone care to share their Thai-inspired but still Atkins friendly recipes (please tell me such a thing exists)? We'd usually visit our favorite Thai restaurant once a week back in the day, but it's hard to do now. I miss the rice/curry combo, plus it hard to know what they're putting in the sauces, so I'd rather make some dishes at home to feed my ever present Thai addiction.

    Re: Thai food?

    You might want to go to your local library and check out books on Thai cooking. Reading those cookbooks help in a number of ways, including, knowing about the cuisine so you'll know if a sauce or food is made with non-Atkins products and leaning about the cuisine so you can make some of the dishes at home (and probably alot less expensively).

      Warning -- not induction friendly!

      Sheshy posted this Pad Thai recipe a couple of months ago. I use the House Foods tofu shiritaki and I usually make it with shrimp -- absolutely yummy! I ended up adding a lot more cayenne pepper, but I've got an asbestos tongue.


      Pad Thai
      Made Low Carb
      (adapted from an Emeril Lagasse recipe)

      2 pkg of the soy/konneyaki noodles
      1/4 cup fish sauce
      2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
      2 tablespoons splenda
      2 chicken breasts (or desired protein, pork or shrimp would be good too)
      1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
      1 tablespoons peanut oil (I've used veg oil also)
      2 tablespoons peanut butter
      2 tablespoons minced garlic
      2 large eggs, beaten
      2 cups bean sprouts
      2 cups sliced green onions
      1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
      1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
      1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

      Drain the konneyaki noodles, rinse with cool water and then drain, set aside. In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, vinegar, cayenne and splenda, and stir until the splenda dissolves. Set aside. In a wok or large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken pieces and cook, small pieces only take about 10-15 min total. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add the eggs to skillet and cook, stirring, until just set, about 45 seconds. Add the peanut butter, allow to melt, then add sprouts, onions, fish sauce mixture, and noodles, and cook, stirring, until warmed through. Add the chicken, and peanuts, and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter and toss with the cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately.
