Sticky Cauliflower Pad Thai

This recipe makes enough for about 1.5 servings, or 1 large serving. If you would like to make this for two people I would double the recipe, and just expect to have some leftover (….or not!)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (I like to use jarred garlic for this, but fresh works too)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 oz rice noodles (I like to use A Taste of Thai, spaghetti cut or wide rice work well)
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1.5 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 combined cup stir fry veggies (I used a mix of shredded carrots, broccoli florets, snap peas, and shaved Brussel sprouts)
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • Toasted sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Make your sauce: In a medium bowl combine coconut aminos, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, honey, and water and whisk until combined. Set aside.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets in a medium bowl, and coat well with corn starch
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan, once HOT add the cauliflower and cook until it starts to brown (I used tongs and flipped it around a few times so all sides were nice and crisp)
  4. Add the stir fry veggies and shiitake mushrooms to the pan with the cauliflower and continue to cook
  5. While veggies cook, prepare the rice noodles per package instructions (I recommend following the stir fry instructions provided on the packaging)
  6. Once veggies are cooked, pour your sauce and the rice noodles into the pan and coat the veggies, and noodles with the sauce. Add 1 tablespoon peanut butter, and stir until peanut butter has melted and combined with the sauce.
  7. Transfer to a plate or bowl, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
