Raw vegan Pad Thai with flavor that makes you want to savor every bite. Creamy and healthy, dinner will never be the same!
Creamy, smooth, and delicious! This is how I would describe this Pad Thai dish. The ingredients in this raw dish combine so well together to give it an authentic Thai taste. What is a Thai recipe without coconuts? Cracking young coconuts to extract that soft and tasty meat is definitely a labor of love, and one that I do not mind doing just to be able to make this recipe. Coconut combined with the macadamia nuts really gives this dish a nice creamy texture that you will savor. A Pad Thai worth making.
