Noodle-Free Pad Thai (30 Minutes!)

Large ceramic serving platter with veggie-loaded Noodle-Free Pad Thai

This recipe has been a long time coming.

While doing some experimentation with my diet in the winter, I really missed our weekly takeout order of Pad Thai. Due to some restrictions, I wasn’t able to have it, so I decided to make a version that was friendly to my gut while still tasting delicious.

Spoiler alert: This is my new favorite Pad Thai recipe that trumps takeout every time. It’s that good!

Wood cutting board with red bell pepper, collard greens, red cabbage, green onions, and carrots for making Noodle-Free Pad Thai

This recipe is simple, requiring just 30 minutes to prepare!

And LOOK at all those veggies! Noodle-free Pad Thai never looked so gorgeous and delicious.

To replace traditional rice noodles, I went with carrot “noodles,” collard greens, thinly sliced bell pepper, and cabbage. Look at all those gorgeous plants you’re going to eat!

And let’s not forget the sauce, which I played around with quite a bit until perfecting: almond butter, lime juice, coconut aminos (or tamari / soy sauce), maple syrup, and chili flake. That’s it! So simple, savory, spicy, sweet, and insanely delicious.

Stirring the ingredients for homemade gluten-free vegan Pad Thai Sauce

For more “oomph,” I added a bit of crumbled tofu to mock the egg in traditional Pad Thai, but this is completely optional, especially if you’re soy-free. I even included some options below for those looking for soy-free protein sources!

I hope you all LOVE this healthier Pad Thai! It’s:

Colorful
Fresh
Flavorful
Savory-spicy-sweet
Super healthy
Satisfying
Versatile
& Delicious

This would make the perfect weeknight meal when you want something satisfying and healthy on the table FAST. It is delicious on its own, but it would pair especially well with these Thai Spring Rolls,  Thai Yellow Curry with Mango, and Curry Roasted Cashews.

  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce or 1/8 tsp red pepper flake
  • optional: 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
SAUCE
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp (40 g) nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.)

  • 3 1/2 Tbsp (52 ml) coconut aminos (or sub tamari or soy sauce if not GF), plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flake or 1 tsp chili garlic sauce (Huy Fong Foods brand)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp (22 ml) maple syrup or (12 g) coconut sugar, plus more to taste
VEGGIES
  • 1 Tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil (sub water or omit if low/no-fat)
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeds + stem removed, thinly sliced (omit for less heat)
  • 3 green onions, ends removed + thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 red bell pepper (120 g), cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) coconut aminos (or tamari or soy sauce if not gluten free), divided
  • 4-5 large carrots, peeled and ribboned with a vegetable peeler (~4 cups packed or 300 g)
  • 6 collard greens, large stems removed, stacked + thinly sliced (~2 cups packed or 72 g)
  • optional: 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
  • optional: 1/2 tsp freshly grated turmeric (or 1/4 tsp ground turmeric)
FOR SERVING optional
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Crushed peanuts / peanut sauce
  • Red pepper flake
Instructions
  1. If serving with tofu: Add tofu to a small mixing bowl and season with coconut aminos, chili garlic sauce (or pepper flake), and turmeric (optional). Stir and set aside.
  2. Add all sauce ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, coconut aminos for saltiness, red pepper flake or chili sauce for heat, or maple syrup for sweetness. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil (or water), pepper, onions, cabbage, bell pepper, and 1 Tbsp coconut aminos. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring/tossing frequently.
  4. Add tofu to a corner of the pan and sauté until slightly browned, stirring frequently - about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add carrots and collard greens and remaining 1 Tbsp coconut aminos and stir. Sauté for 2 minutes. Then add Pad Thai sauce and freshly grated ginger and turmeric (optional).
  6. Sauté over medium heat until warmed through and collards are slightly wilted - about 3 minutes - stirring frequently.
  7. Taste and adjust flavor of dish as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, red pepper flake or chili garlic for heat, coconut aminos for saltiness, or lime juice for acidity.
  8. Divide between serving plates and enjoy. Serve as is or with peanut sauce, crushed peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges. Serves 2 as an entrée or 4 as a side.
Notes
*You can easily remove the tofu from this dish to keep the recipe soy-free! Other protein options could include crushed peanuts/nuts, serving the dish over quinoa, or even sprinkling on some hemp seeds.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate for 1/2 of the recipe without additional garnishes or toppings.
*This recipe is Pad Thai-inspired and not authentic. It is my healthier take on a classic dish I love and am always looking for ways to recreate.

    I feel like you could leave out the tofu and add your recipe for peanut marinated tempeh on top if you need a little more protein.

    Hi Dana,

    Hi have followed you for a long while and made many of your recipes, all wonderful. This one is so extraordinary that I just have to give you a shout out! Thank you! I have been veg for nearly 50 years now, and have a super plant based diet with homemade meals most of the time. For this dish I did part rice noodles and part spiraled carrots and upped the ginger, but otherwise, as written. SO so so so delicious! thank you! I might even have to take to instram next time! xxooooo

    Some things just can’t wait until tomorrow, and this recipe was no exception. After seeing the post, I was smitten with the idea of making a noodle free Pad Thai and later this evening off to the market I went . The promise of the dish in 30 minutes did not seem possible but I was able to prep the ingredients within 20 minutes and cook the dish within 10 minutes and was pleasantly surprised. I did not change much to the recipe but I would definitely make extra sauce for serving on the side (it’s really good/salty/sweet/sour/spicy). The veggies were lightly coated with the sauce so it would be nice to have a bit extra. For cooking, I used a wok and appreciated the extra room to cook this dish in considering the large amount of veggies involved, it made tossing and cooking a breeze. I’m not a huge fan of tofu, but decided to use it in the recipe since it is so commonly found in Pad Thai. Similar to many Thai restaurant versions of Pad Thai, I cubed the extra firm tofu. It was hard to get a nice sear on the tofu cubes even with the veggies pushed to the side of the pan. Next time I will sear the tofu first and remove it from the pan and then add the tofu back at the end with the ginger and sauce to keep the crispy texture. This is one of the most fun and creative ways I’ve had eating my veggies in a while and was thrilled to get so many different veggies packed into this dish! In the past, I’ve made traditional noodle pad thai and spent over an hour just making a traditional sauce. I absolutely loved the simplicity of this recipe and would agree that it is a great stand in for the real thing…and without a doubt much healthier! I’ve found with plant based cooking as long as you use similar herbs, flavors, sauces, you can really recreate some traditional favorites. Keep up the great work Dana, and keep the inspirational recipes coming! You have once again saved the day for me as a new plant based eater. I’m having so much fun with your recipes and appreciate being able to create so many flavorful dishes!

    I forgot to add, I did use a traditional vegetable peeler to make the carrot noodle ribbons which was a first for me. It took me a couple carrots into the process to get the method down. The easiest way for me was to lay the carrot on a cutting board holding the thin end and holding the peeler blade side down and sweeping the peeler blade along the length of the carrot. When it started to get tougher to peel I would rotate the carrot a quarter turn. When finished I was left with larger pieces from each carrot which I will use for another purpose, but the 4 carrots gave me enough ribbons to make the dish.

    Yum! Made this tonight for my sister and boyfriend (the boyfriend is a carnivore). Instead of scrambling the tofu, we pressed, cubed, baked, and then pan seared 14 oz. of tofu to go on top. Super yum. We ate the whole recipe. I think sweet potato noodles would be amazing here, although I am partial to the collard greens. We also doubled the peanut sauce to serve extra on the side, and served the dish alongside this delicious thai cucumber salad.

    Question about the almond butter/sauce for those who have made this–I love pad Thai but always get it without peanuts and I loathe peanut sauce (not allergic, just want to stab it till it’s dead). Does this sauce have a peanut sauce kind of taste? I’m wondering if I could skip the almond butter altogether…

      I don’t think it does, personally. If you’re worried about it, you could some sunflower butter which is less nutty in my opinion. Otherwise, I think you should enjoy it!

I had high hopes for this dish but I had no idea it would be this freaking good You know how you meet a promising guy on Saturday night and then you spend the day with him on Sunday and you can’t imagine going back to work on Monday because you don’t really want to be apart? That’s how I feel about your pad Thai. If I have to call in sick tomorrow I am blaming you…

    “I am altering the recipe. Pray I do not alter it further.” – Darth Reader
    The sauce, the balance of vegetables are perfect. I used kale and added garlic sauteed shrimp. Cooked the peppers separately to spare my wife The Heat.
    One complaint: you switch back and forth between measured ingredients (lime juice – how many tablespoons are in a lime?), cabbage (by the cup – how many cups of cabbages are in a cabbage?), and whole ingredients (5 collard greens). I prefer the whole ingredient approach. In the frenzied head of a stir-fry, clarity and consistency count.

      I was thinking the same thing about measurements! Until I realized that the size difference between big and small red cabbages and big and small limes was huge and it would have been thrown off if I’d gone with 1 lime…. since I got like 5-6 tablespoons out of my lime… ;)

    made this last night – it was friggin’ amazing, and I couldn’t stop picking at the leftovers even though I was ridiculously full. my only complaint is that there’s a TON of salt; I doubled the amount of tofu (thus, doubled the glaze), which brought the total amount of soy sauce used to 7 1/2 tablespoons. yikes. any future recipe users could probably take out at least 2 tablespoons somewhere and it would probably still be just as good.

How can anyone not want to go Vegan with dishes like this? You will see nothing but positive results – I wish people could see that. I am purchasing your book to add to my Vegan collection and I must say, yours will be the one that I will regularly reach for and will probably be covered in food splatters.

    I made this today and it was great; I tried to use a special peeler that makes long julienne slices for the carrots, but my carrots were not that big (next time I will do the ribbons). I used Gardein vegan Chik strips instead of tofu. This was another delightful dish; I would say it took about 45 minutes to chop and peel vegetables and make the sauce. The cooking time is included. I love the fact I did not need rice or noodles to feel full. Thank you for this dish.

    Another fantastic recipe! I made this tonight with green cabbage instead of purple, but that was the only substitution. Making the carrot noodles with the peeler was so smart and simple. I was so impressed with how it all came together, it was very much like pad thai. The sauce was my favorite part :)

    This recipe will definitely be on rotation! I can’t wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

    I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious! I was skeptical that it could be better than take-out but as usual, you pulled through. It was definitely yummy but how on earth did you pull this together in 30 minutes? It took me a little over an hour, and I even has a spiralizer to use for shredding the cabbage and bell peppper! (I used a veggie peeler for the carrot noodles though.) Was this 30 minutes after you’d prepped the veggies already? Do you have any tips for making the carrot noodles? I struggled so much and wasn’t sure how to proceed when I’d shaved most of it and was left with a piece that was too thin to peel but too thick to be a noodle… I’d love tips on making this faster because it was delicious and I’d like to make it more often if it could be faster…

    Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi Nursen! While we all work at different speeds in the kitchen, prep time does not indicate total hands-on prep time, but also includes prep completed while other items are cooking. When shaving your noodles, you will end up with a piece left over and you can thinly chop it to match the thickness of the others (or close to it) Hope this helps!

    Is there a vegan substitute you’d recommend for the fish sauce that gives pad thai its signature flavor?

    This was one of my least successful go’s at a MB recipe, but it was my own doing. I added zucchini noodles to bulk it up/was too lazy to go out and buy collards, but this left even less crunch in the dish. Definitely add the crushed nuts/some kind of seed/bean sprouts to this. Even with all the veg, it desperately needed the crunch contrast in traditional pad thai. Don’t be lazy like me! Get the extra firm tofu and take the time to let the water expel before making the dish.

    That said, it was still a tasty and flavorful dish as are all your awesome recipes!

    I made this last week since I had all the ingredients on hand. The only change was the addition of a pad thai sauce ( tamarind, TJ’s spicy yuzu sauce, soy, ginger, garlic) to give more flavor to the “noodles”. I’m a saucy gal!
    Served on a bed of fresh greens from the garden. My husband LOVED it! Wants it on regular rotation. It makes a good summer meal served raw or al dente.

I saw a link on Reddit to this recipe a few weeks ago and made the sauce in the Vitamix for lunch that very day, mixing it with shirataki angel hair noodles and garnishing with sliced almonds. It was divine. I used maple syrup, substituted Bragg’s Liquid Aminos for the coconut aminos, and added the sesame oil to the sauce in the blender.

I didn’t have all the vegetables so I used carrots and zucchini as noodles. I added fresh corn. It turned out absolutely amazing !! I am sooooo impressed. The tofu was delicious. I’m obsessed with pad Thai; it’s probably my favourite dish. We order take out a couple times a month. From now on I’ll be making this instead!! Much healthier, very easy and even more delicious.

After a year and a half vegan I switched back to eating chicken and fish due to some belly fat that just wouldn’t budge so instead of tofu I used a pound of chicken marinated the same. I had to use two pans to cook everything than mixed it all together in a big soup pot at the end. My husband, five year old son and I ate it all. Absolutely delicious and that takeout place ain’t got nothing on this!

    Made this today, but instead of cooking it I ate it as a salad, which was delicious. As a salad the instruction are a little different, but the recipe remains unchanged. To make as a salad mix the sauce with the minced serrano peppers, toasted sesame oil, ginger, and turmeric (if using). Set the sauce aside and prep the vegetables. Once the vegetables are prepared toss them together in a bowl. I cut down on the carrots as they won’t shrink as much as cooking (maybe 2-3 cups instead of 4 cup I kinda did it by feel here). Then mix all of the sauce (turned dressing) with vegetables and let sit for 5 minutes stirring a couple times. This allows the vegetable to soften especially the carrots which end up being kinda noodly once soaked in the dressing.

    Two medium spiralized sweet potatoes instead of the carrots. Then, I swapped the collard greens for baby kale that I had in my fridge. Also, I didn’t have any tofu. It was tasty without, but next time I make this I think I’ll include tofu for a bit more fun. ;) I cooked everything in a wok, and like someone else commented, the extra space made cooking easier and faster for me.

    This would be super with bean sprouts and I wish I had unsalted roasted peanuts to top it off…

    I made with spiralized zucchini, carrot and spinach and added crushed cashews on top. Second night I added normal noodles. Great recipe :) I still have loads! Would it be suitable to freeze?

      Glad you loved it, Claire! I am not so sure about freezing it but you can certainly refrigerate leftovers. Hope this helps!

    Oh my gosh! I just made this for my lunches this week and I literally scraped down the pan to get everything I could. Delicious, as always!

    Thank you for another fabulous dish that is healthy and tasty!! I have made many of your recipes and absolutely LOVE your website!! Many days I come home and go straight to it for tips on what to make for dinner and I am never disappointed. You have a knack of getting just the right blend of flavors with all that healthy goodness!

    The sauce is especially wonderful! Perfect blend of everything, so simple and I had everything already in the cupboard (no shopping necessary) Bonus!

    This was amazing! My husband is pretty over zoodles however he loved the carrot noodles! We subbed lemon juice, regular shredded cabbage and spinach instead of collards as that was what we had on hand and it was just delicious! Thank you for all of these easy delicious recipes, we have loved everything we have cooked from the blog and cookbook!!

    Would it be ok to leave out the maple syrup?

      Yes, or you could use coconut sugar in place of it!

    This was so good! Colourful and full of flavour. Took awhile to prep but cooking did not take long. Will definitely make again.

    I am obsessed with this recipe. I make it about once a week (sometimes more!). It is delicious. I sometimes add noodles or other ingredients.

    This recipe is awesome! I’ve made it 4 or 5 times now and it is always a hit. I switch around different veggies depending on what I have on hand (tonight I added zucchini because I didn’t have collard greens). It’s delicious and it makes you feel so good for getting so many veggies in one shot!

    My husband and I went plant-based about 14 months ago and have made several of your receipes and never disappointed. This one was over the top amazing! The sauce was perfect. The addition of the fresh ginger was a great suggestion. This one will be a go to whenever the urge for take out hits. We love noodles-but this was so good we didn’t miss em. Thanks for sharing!!

    You are a genius! I was hoping with all the veggies it would still taste good. IT WAS AMAZING! The sauce and all the different textures really hit the spot. I make at least 2-3 of your recipes a week, they have NEVER disappointed. Thank you!!

    This recipe is so so good! I tweaked it some when I boiled some rice noodles from Whole Foods, then browned them in a pan so that people could choose to have “real” noodles too (if they wanted…it was a big group). We also added some hard boiled egg to the top and garnished each plate with sesame seeds (and the cilantro/lime like you had too). All in all, everyone loved it! I was shocked how many people were asking about the collard greens! They seemed surprised that they were in Pad Thai! haha

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It was a winner, and super easy too!

    This recipe is a game-changer! I added a bunch more chili-garlic paste and red pepper flakes to kick up the heat and I used all of the vegetables in the recipe as stated. It was so delicious and satisfying! I’ll be busting this one back out for my next houseguests. One of the best vegan dishes I have ever had!

    This is the bomb.com! I made this for a couple friends that have all recently become vegan, and we were all very impressed. Got our Thai fix without that greasy ick feeling at the end of the meal. Will definitely be adding this into the rotation. Thanks!
