Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or olive oil
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 pound shrimp
- 1/2 pound chicken breasts cut into small cubes
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 zucchini large, spiralized
- 1 carrot large, spiralized
- 1 cup purple cabbage sliced thinly
- 3 green onions sliced in 1-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds toasted

Pad Thai Sauce
- 3 tablespoons No Sugar Added SunButter
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar unsweetened
- 3 tablespoon coconut aminos or fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or more, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or more, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by adding all ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl, and whisking until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add sesame oil, and then add in chicken. Brown chicken for about 7 minutes, and then add shrimp. Continue to cook until both shrimp and chicken are cooked through, about another 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside in a bowl.
- In the same skillet, add egg. Stir fry to scramble, and then remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic. Saute for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Into the skillet, add zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, red bell pepper and purple cabbage. Stir fry over high heat for about 4-5 minutes, until heated through. Overcooking the vegetable noodles will result in a watery dish.
- Remove pan from heat, and add chicken, shrimp, and egg. Drizzle sauce, and then toss to coat the vegetables.
- Garnish with sunflower seeds, cilantro, and lime wedges.
