Tasty Raw Pad Thai

Zesty, Crunchy and Satisfying

This raw Pad Thai is a refreshing twist on the much-loved Thai classic. With spiralised vegetables, crisp herbs, and a creamy cashew-based sauce, it is light yet satisfying. Perfect for warm days, it offers a balance of crunch, zest, and freshness that you’re going to love.

Simple Steps to Enjoy

1. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, carrot, onion, cabbage, snow peas, capsicum, bean sprouts, and fresh herbs.

2. To prepare the sauce, add the soaked cashews, garlic, ginger, chilli, lemongrass, lime juice, tamari, kaffir lime leaves, coconut nectar, and coconut water to a high-speed blender.

3. Blend until smooth and creamy, then drizzle in the olive oil and blend briefly to finish.

4. Pour the sauce over the salad and toss gently until well coated.

5. Top with extra bean sprouts and coriander.

6. Serve chilled and enjoy the crisp, creamy balance.

Why This Dish Stands Out

Cashews bring a creamy richness to the sauce along with plant-based protein and healthy fats, making it both flavourful and satisfying. Zucchini and carrot, when spiralised, provide a refreshing alternative to noodles while contributing fibre and natural sweetness. The addition of fresh herbs like basil, mint, and coriander adds layers of aroma and vibrancy, giving this dish its distinctive Thai-inspired character.
