Super Simple Syn Free Chicken Pad Thai

Pad Thai is one of my top three favourite dishes, so I decided it was about time that I came up with my own completely syn free version, and that’s what I’ve done here! 

Funnily enough, I had always assumed that making a Pad Thai would be super complicated, but I genuinely couldn’t have been more wrong! I kind of blew myself away a little bit with quite how easy this was, and how quickly I was rewarded with a dish that tasted just like the one I order every single time I go out for Thai food! Amazing for something that took just 20 minutes to make! 

There’s something special about Thai food for me, I’m not sure whether it’s the fact that it conjours up memories of big takeaways at home, or whether it’s the fascination I’ve always had with Thailand. I am in fact heading over there for a holiday in December which I am more excited about than I can say! It’s been a great motivator in terms of my weight loss on Slimming World since I booked this holiday, and whilst I’m hoping to have reached my final goal weight well before I jet off to the beach, it’ll help keep me motivated to maintain once I’ve done so! 

One of the beautiful things about this dish is the gorgeous aromas that are created when you cook it. The paste that you make to start off with is made from the simplest of ingredients, garlic, chilli, coriander and lime, but when it’s cooked and all of those flavours come together in the frying pan, they just smell so delicious! If I could find a way of putting that smell across through the internet I would, but because I can’t you’re just going to have to give it a go yourself! One of the ingredients that you’ll see I’ve used is Sukrin Gold, which is one of my new favourite discoveries!

It’s a brown sugar sweetener, but you’d honestly never know it was a sweetener at all. It looks, smells and tastes just like the real thing, and doesn’t leave that nasty taste in your mouth afterwards like some other sweeteners! You can pick it up from Amazon here. You could try this with regular sweetener, but as it’s the brown sugar in Pad Thai that really helps to make it amazing, I’d really recommend grabbing the Sukrin instead!
