View Full Version : Need recipe ideas for using Pad Thai noodles
I bought a few boxes of brown rice noodles, specifically Pad Thai noodles, when they were on sale recently. I could, of course, just use them to make Pad Thai, but I was wondering what other dishes I might make with these noodles. We don't cook a lot of Asian food at our house, but I bought these noodles because I am now gluten-free and I wanted to expand my culinary options.
Although I'd love to read any and all recipes using Pad Thai noodles that the fine folks here might offer up, I'll be especially grateful for recipes that are good for a gluten-free, egg-eating, vegan. :D
Thanks in advance!
Peanut noodles? I make a sauce of mostly peanut butter, dark sesame oil, ginger, soy, honey, maybe some red pepper and some hot water to thin. Toss with noodles and shredded or finely chopped veggies.

Do you have proportions for the ingredients? I'm really trying to stay away from bottled sauces. TIA
Would they work as pasta noodles? Easy enough to make gluten free sauce or a nice veggie combo.
You probably know this, but make sure to use gluten-free labelled soy sauce. I risked it last night and had some unlabeled soy sauce and was sick for 6 hours. Not making that mistake again.
I make Singapore noodles with shirataki, rice noodles, or bean threads. They consist of BBQ pork, chicken, scrambled egg, and chopped scallions in a homemade curry sauce. The scrambled egg and scallions are added at the end. Recipes abound for these, but most are more complicated than my version (I see a lot of them use shrimp.)
You could toss cooked noodles with fried tofu chunks, peanuts, scallions, and whatever Thai cooking sauce (Mussaman, green, yellow, or red) you choose, mixed with coconut milk, garnished with cilantro and holy basil.
You asked for proportions on the peanut sauce- here's a place to start adjusting for your own taste. 1/3 cup peanut butter, 1 t. dark sesame oil, 1T. soy sauce, 1/2 T rice wine vinegar, 1 T honey, pinch red pepper, maybe 1/2 t. grated ginger, and enough hot water to make it the right sauce consistency- I keep mine on the thinner side to coat all the noodles.
Vegetarian chow mein type dishes
Tomato sauce
Faux chicken noodle soup with extra carrots (break the noodles into shorter pieces)
If you get the Trader Joe's penne or spiral shape brown rice noodles:
Pasta salads of the vinaigrette or vegan mayo type

I like to throw rice noodles in with stir-frys (I have done it with Shirataki too). Just cook the noodles and then add at the end to coat with whatever sauce or seasonings you're using. Also, pho (Vietnamese soup) has rice noodles in it. I have heard the broth for traditional pho is fairly complex to make, but I bet you could google around and find a recipe that would be easier.

I make mine with canned coconut milk, lots of garlic, sambal oelek, and a bit of something sweet, and serve it over noodles with ground peanuts, chili seeds, cilantro, and scallions.
