Stuff I’ve Cooked: Raw Rainbow Pad Thai

May 7th, 2015 by Karen 16 Comments

A lot of people don’t know this, but it’s a proven fact (not really). Rainbows taste like pad thai.

Yeah! Who knew? 🙂

I got a bag of crazy yellow and purple carrots (the carrots are buried down there in the bowl somewhere) at Trader Joe’s and thought they’d be perfect for this Rad Rainbow Pad Thai recipe I found on — yup, you guessed it — ohsheglows.com.

I’ve made this a few times now. Sometimes I’ll have it as is, and sometimes I’ll add a protein on top, like I did a lightly fried tofu a while back, and that was really good. Another time I cooked some frozen shrimp in TJ’s Sweet Chili Sauce — also delicious, and cooking the shrimp only took about five minutes. El Hub’s favorite was the time I added Trader Joe’s Ginger and Soy Cod Fillets, which I baked in the oven. The ginger-soy flavors go really well with the pad thai veggies.

You gotta give this one a try. It’s SO nom.

It looks like pasta in there, but it’s all veggies.

    Pad Thai is one of my favorite things to eat when we eat out, but I never thought of making it my own.
    It looks so delicious, and eating colorful is way more fun.

      You’re welcome! Do you have a tool to julienne the vegetables? It really helps speed things along.

    I LOVE pad thai–LOVE! Especially with all veggies! I think you are correct about rainbows tasting like pad thai. Such a gorgeous plate.

    How funny that you mention TJ sweet chili sauce…I have been addicted to the stuff lately. TJ has these little shrimp bites that are perfect with that sauce.

      That sauce is SO good. I could seriously put it on anything. Do you ever eat fried tofu? I like to fry mine with a little bit of olive oil spray in a pan and then dip it into the sauce.

        I don’t normally fry anything….. but I LOVE tofu. I put sauce on it and bake it sometimes. You could cube it and do that too.

        But oh, i might have to fry some now just to dip it in that sauce!

        These days I am making plenty od kebabs with minced meat. I would mix the ingredients I use and just make sausage -like shapes and pop thwm in a microwave. Everything’s done in twenty five minutes maximum.

          Commenting from my phone isn’t the best idea. So many typos. 🙁

      Hi Elena,

      You can find them in the TJ’s frozen section. At my store they’re usually next to the shrimp!

      One thing that I like to do with the cod is bread it first with panko crumbs. I set it on top of a baking sheet, spray the topping generously with olive oil spray, and then bake it! It comes out nice and crunchy and gives the fish some extra texture.

      Happy Friday! 🙂

        Happy Friday to you too Karen!

        I will take your recommendation. You didn’t lead me astray with that peppered cheese (not sure why the name is escaping me)-omg that was delicious!!

        I love panko bread crumbs! I can’t wait for my next day off to get some grocery shopping done!

    One of my favorite sayings (and one I’m guilty of not following as well as I should) is, “Eat your colors!”. Your photo is a great inspiration, thank you! I’ve been meaning to bookmark ohsheglow’s blog, so I better do that now…

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
