This Keto Chicken Pad Thai is a low-carb twist on the high-carb classic takeaway dish. This Keto Pad Thai is salty, tangy, and just plain delicious.
This Low Carb Pad Thai recipe has been adapted from a traditional Thai family recipe that I was taught at a cooking school in Chiang Mai whilst on a family holiday many, many years ago.

A big hit at my house. Absolutely delicious. I wasn’t sure when to add the scallions because they were in the ingredient list but not in the method.
Will definitely be making this again.Reply
So glad you enjoy the Pad Thai Tracey. Thanks for letting us know about the scallions, i’ll and take a look and sort that out.

Made this today. Was amazing. I wasn’t sure at first – never made pad thai before, never made shirataki noodles before, never used pak choy or bok choy before, and never used bean sprouts before. The noodles smell fishy when made (common complaint I see online for these noodles), however, this recipe has so much flavor going on that when ate, I didn’t notice. It was delicious, and will be making again. Additional directions on how to to chop or prepare the bok choy would have made it better, I ran mine through a mini chopper.Reply
Yes they do smell fishy, but I find soaking them in several changes of water sorts that out I love them because it means I can still indulge in my favourite eastern style dishes. The shirataki rice is good too
