Shirataki Pad Thai, plated and ready to serve

Pad Thai is Thailand’s most famous dish internationally — a tangled, fragrant toss of rice noodles, egg, bean sprouts, and peanuts in a tamarind-based sauce. Made with shirataki noodles, it retains all the flavour, texture, and drama of the original with essentially zero net carbs. The preparation is identical; only the noodle changes.

Health Benefits

  • Shirataki noodles contain glucomannan, a soluble fibre studied for its cholesterol-lowering effects.
  • The dry-frying step removes the odd smell and excess water from shirataki, making them far more palatable.
  • Tamarind provides hydroxycitric acid, which may support fat metabolism.
