This recipe was contributed by Liv Kaplan or @liv.kaplan as you may know her on Instagram. Liv is a fellow Sydneysider who we have had the pleasure of meeting at numerous health and wellness events. She is a nutritionist, presenter and talented content creator. This recipe is Liv's version of everyone’s favourite Thai takeaway, but without the MSG hangover. It is low-carb, vegan and absolutely packed with flavour - an absolute must-try. Liv has used kelp noodles here which are made from seaweed, and unlike rice noodles, won’t give you a massive carbohydrate load to the system, and also happen to be a great source of iodine! This dish is topped with pili nuts which are a fabulous high fat nut which offers the perfect crunch. If you don’t have pili nuts, some toasted peanuts, almonds or macadamias would be great too.

  1. Prepare the noodles by plunging in a large bowl of room temperature water. Leave to sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

  2. To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a small blender or food processor. Set aside.

  3. Heat coconut oil in a pan and sauté red onion until fragrant and translucent. Pour in the sauce and leave to cook until fragrant and beginning to caramelise, about 2 mins.

  4. Drain the noodles and rinse. Add into the pan and toss until heated through and coated in the sauce. Transfer to plates.

  5. Place the bok choy, cut side down onto the pan to brown slightly, about 2 minutes. Add to the plates with the spiralised or finely chopped carrot. Top with pili nuts, coriander and mint.
