Thai food, Chinese food, Japanese food can you say yum? Soy sauce, MSG, wheat…can you say belly ache? at least for me! I love finding unusual recipes that fit all my dietary needs! The newest and latest gadget that I have discovered is called “the spiralizer” you can find it on Amazon here. It takes vegetables and spirals them into thick or thin noodles or ribbons that you can use in place of regular noodles. Plus it is really fun! I normally use zucchini or carrots but I ran across a new cookbook called “Inspiralized” found on Amazon here, she also has a great blog where I was inspired by the pad thai recipe using daikon radish, this is my version….
(Oh please I heard you say ewwww but you are going to be shocked if you try it!)

- 2 peeled daikon radishes (They look like white carrots!)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup crushed cashews (or peanuts if you eat legumes)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- fresh cilantro to taste
- For the sauce:
- 1 pressed garlic clove
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp sweet chili-sauce (I used Annie Chun's sweet and spicy)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Use your spiralizer to spiral the radishes, I used the thin noodle setting. (You could use zucchini or rice noodles)
- Blend the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside
- Scramble the eggs in 1/2 the sesame oil, set aside
- Add the rest of the oil and start cooking the radish, add the sauce and stir until the "noodles" are to your liking. They will get softer the longer you cook. I like them slightly crisp.
- Add back in the eggs and toss
- Plate and add the cashews and cilantro
- Enjoy!
