I wanted my favorite Thai meal recently - Pad Kee Mao, or 'Drunken Noodles' - 

but thinking about 1300 calories for just one meal, I just couldn't do it. 

This recipe for at home thai is just as good as takeout, if not better since it's fresh and lower calorie.

This meal came in at about 500 calories.

 

Here's what you'll need: 

Shrimp (we used small, about 20 shrimp)

1 carrot, sliced into logn strips

1 Zucchini, cut into small pieces

1 Head of Broccoli, cut into small pieces

1/2 Red Onion, diced

1 Red Bell Pepper, diced

 5 oz Stir-fry rice noodles (I used Thai Kitchen brand)

8 tbsp. Low Sodium Soy Sauce

 1 tbsp. Sriracha Chili Sauce

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

EVOO or Coconut Oil

 

 

Boil a large pot of water over high heat and cook your rice noodles to package directions.

In a medium skillet, add 2 tbsp. of oil and heat over medium high heat. Throw in all of your veggies,

sautee until the rice noodles are finished, about 8-10 minutes.

In another skillet, heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium high heat.

Add the shrimp and cook until opaque, 3-5 minutes, stirring to make sure all of the shrimp is cooked evenly.

Mix your soy sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and sriracha in a small bowl.

When noodles are done, drain and return to pot.

Toss with soy sauce mixture, plate.

Drain veggies of excess water, then top the noddles with the veggies, adding the shrimp on top.

 

 

Enjoy!
