Veggie Noodle Pad Thai

~ raw, vegan, gluten-free ~
Pad Thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at casual local eateries in Thailand. Well, here in Hood River at Oldfather Farms, Pad Thai is not stir-fried, veggie noodles are used in place of rice noodles and are enjoyed in the comfort of my home.
Though I could envision myself strolling down the street, taking in the beauty of the surrounding orchards, my take-out-container in hand with long veggies noodles being sucked up between puckered lips. But not before they wildly whip around and smack me in the back of the head. :)
In creating this dish, I spiralized many different root veggies; carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, butternut squash, and so forth. I felt like a kid holding up noodles that were almost as tall as I was… of course, Bob and Mom were growing impatient because this was their dinner. Bob turned to Mom and said, “I have to go through this with every meal. Lol”.
Veggie noodles are not only fun to make, but they are low in calories, full of nutrition and so easy. This is one of those great dishes to make with your kids.
Have a blessed day and noodle on!
Ingredients:
Serves 2
Spiraled veggie noodles:
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup rutabaga
- 1 cup parsnips
- 1 cup butternut squash
- 1 cup golden beet
- 1 red bell pepper, thin sliced
Marinated mushrooms:
- 2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms, caps only
- 2 Tbsp gluten-free tamari sauce
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Sauce:
- 1/4 cup raw almond butter
- 2 Tbsp gluten-free tamari sauce
- 1 Tbsp Eden red wine vinegar or raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp raw agave nectar
- 2 tsp organic chili sauce (Sriracha)
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Add-ins:
- white and black sesame seeds
- Organic edamame (optional)
Preparation:
Spiraled noodles:
- Using a spiralizer, spiral enough of each veggie to make one cup of each. This will feed two, so feel free to increase the measurement if you are feeding more people.
- Place the noodles in a ziplock bag or low-sided glass dish (that will fit in the dehydrator). Toss with lemon juice and salt.
- Slide the veggies into the dehydrator and warm at 145 degrees (F) for 30 minutes or so. You can use 115 degrees (F) temp, but this will take longer. Warm until they start to soften.
Marinated mushrooms:
- Wash the mushrooms and remove the stems.
- Slice the mushroom caps into thin slivers.
- In a ziplock baggie or a glass bowl; toss with Tamari and oil. Slide the vessel into the dehydrator to marinate while the noodles are softening. I set the machine at 145 degrees and let them marinate for about 30 minutes or until soft. Concerned about the 145 degrees (F) temp? Read (here) for more information about it.
Sauce:
- In a 2 cup measuring cup, pour in the almond butter measuring out 1/4 cup.
- Add the Tamari, vinegar, agave, chili sauce, and oil. Whisk together and set aside until the veggies are ready. This will give the sauce time to meld together in flavors.
Assembly:
- After the noodles have softened, give them a quick in rinse with hot water to remove some the saltiness. Toss the noodles and sauce together until the noodles are well coated.
- Drain the mushrooms from the marinade liquid, toss in the noodles, add the edamame and sesame seeds.
- Serve and enjoy!
Spiralize all of the root veggies. Be sure to wash and peel them before using.

I was so excited about yesterday’s post with the broccoli noodles, but today’s recipe really opened my mind to the possibilities of my spiralizer!! I am definitely going to make this tonight!!
I am so thrilled that I have inspired you Rhonda! Have a blessed dinner and enjoy your weekend! amie sue
This recipe sounds really good and can’t wait to try it! I liked the way all your other recipes have been formatted for saving in a pdf format – I could pick what pictures I wanted; this was very helpful and saved on ink/toner and paper too. I was wanting to print it off but didn’t because I didn’t want all the pictures that were at the end – I couldn’t de-select them. Thanks for all you do!!
Hello Janine … I just tried to print this recipe and I was able to just click on the photos and it would delete them. Perhaps try opening it up in a different browser or reboot your current one. I hope that fixes it on your end. I hope that you enjoy the recipe. Have a great weekend, amie sue
Hi. This looks and sounds amazing! I’m really wanting a device in which I can do this to my vegetables. What is this called and where could I purchase one from please? I actually live in Australia.
Thank you xx
Good evening Holly, please refer to the bottom of the recipe. I listed out several options. If you have further questions, just let me know! Have a great evening, amie sue

thanks
Kathleen
Hello Kathleen,
Warm at 145 degrees (F) for 30 minutes or so. You can use 115 degree (F) temp but this will take longer. Warm until they start to soften. In #2 it was some weird type’o! Thanks for pointing it out, I fixed it. Have a wonderful day, amie sue
what kind of mushrooms did you use ?
what variety of mushrooms would complement this recipe ?
I used baby portobello mushroom Kathleen. Have a great day, amie sue
loved this dish and will definitely make over and over again…
husband gave it two thumbs up. Can’t wait to try many other recipes from your site. Keep up the great work!
That is awesome Delores… it always feels good when husbands and kids give a recipe a thumbs up. hehe Thank you for sharing the outcome and have a blessed day, amie sue
First I fave to thank you for your wonderful blog, I have learned a lot so far! I’d like my own Spiralizer
but can’t decide on brand as there is quite a few out there – what is the one that you have? The Spageties are round or squared?
Wish you all the best!!
Good morning Irena,
I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my site. It’s a wonderful recipe “playground” :) I have come to really enjoy this (https://nouveauraw.com/equipment/utensils-gadgets/gefu-spiralfix-spiral-slicer-13410/) spiralizer. It is great for those who are either left or right handed. It makes several different kind of noodles shapes. In second place, I like this (https://nouveauraw.com/equipment/utensils-gadgets/paderno-world-cuisine-a4982799-tri-blade-plastic-spiral-vegetable-2/). It is built for right-handed people ( I am a lefty ) but it also will do several thicknesses. They are all round in shape (noodles that is). Some are flat, just depends on the blade that you use. I hope this helps. Have a great weekend, amie sue
really love this sauce, love how the almond butter made it into a ketchup consistency. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes you have really gave me the boost I need to go back to eating raw with all these fabulous recipes.
Happy to hear that you are enjoying the sauce Dana. We all need a boost from time to time and I am thankful that I could be here to help do that for you. :) Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful evening, amie sue
