Living in Thailand for 6 years has taught me how to cook and learn what flavours go together in Thai cuisine. One of my favourite dishes is Phad Thai, a rich sweet and sour noodle dish which is healthy and yummy. I have created a low FODMAP version which tastes just as good. Enjoy!

Instructions
- In a bowl of warm to hot water place the noodles and let them soak for 30-40 minuets.
- Roast or grill the peanuts for 4-5 minuets, until browned on top.
- In a hot pan add the oil, sugar, cayenne pepper and soy sauce. Stir until all is melted together and creates a syrup.
- Chop the vegetables but make sure to leave the garlic whole for low FODMAP dieters (you will pick them out later).
- Once the noodles are soft, add the vegetables and herbs to the pan with the Phad Thai sauce. Turn the heat up high and stir continuously for 5 minuets.
- Turn the heat down, push the noodles to one half of the pan and add the eggs. Scramble them until cooked and then mix them in with the noodles.
- Transfer to a serving plate (don't forget to take out the garlic) and crush the peanuts and sprinkle on top.
- Chop a lime in half and add on the side. Grub's up!

Do you have a version of this which is low-fodmap? All my lists say that garlic, peanuts and soy (gluten) should not be eaten. Thanks!
Hello Miranda, you’re right the garlic should not be consumed, although in this recipe the garlic must not be chopped as it should be easy to remove. However if you are overly sensitive to garlic, you could replace the garlic with fresh green chives as a garnish. Peanut’s are fine as they don’t contain any high levels of FODMAPs and you should be able to buy ‘gluten free’ soy sauce from your local super market.
I hope that helps
