Gluten Free Pad Thai

This Gluten Free Pad Thai is made with cauliflower pearls and tons of veggies and topped with a fried egg for good measure! 

You know how I feel about Mondays…. I love them. They’re way better than Tuesdays and Wednesdays because you get to start the week fresh both in terms of productivity and in terms of eating. I feel like every week I start off really strong and then end with pizza and/or tacos. It’s just the way I operate, and I’m honestly not mad about it. But, since it’s Monday, I’m trying to fit in all my fruits and veggies. Hopefully you’re kind of sort of on board with that. 

I’m also not a fan of meals that take very long to cook, especially on Mondays because helloooooo, I’m tired. Luckily, this meal takes all of 10 minutes to put together thanks to my friends over at Taylor Farms. Have you seen their stir fry kits at your local grocery store? If you have, GREAT. If not, use this store locator to see if there’s a store near you that carries them. They’re an AWESOME way to squeeze in some veggies and put a meal together in no time at all. 

….like this gluten free pad thai, for example. It’s made with their Pad Thai stir fry kit, which comes with a ton of veggies, like carrots, broccoli, kale, and peas and includes a pre-made pad thai sauce, so all you have to do is sauté the veggies, add the sauce and that’s it! 

For this recipe, I used the Taylor Farms cauliflower pearls as my base (the same ones I used for this chili recipe), but between you and me, I also added a little bit of white rice into the mix per my husband’s request. If you refer to the recipe below, I give the option to use only cauliflower pearls or to use a mixture of pearls and rice, whatever you prefer! 

Besides the pre-made mix, I added in some shiitake mushrooms, shallots and a fried egg for good measure, and this meal was filled with flavor and nutrition and, like I said before, it came together in about 10 minutes. Talk about a win!
