Pho, pad thai, ramen, udon… the list seems endless when it comes to Asian comfort food. What do these foods have in common? Noodles! Who can resist the carb-tastic, chewy goodness that soaks up flavors we all know and love?
The only downside? Although these dishes keep our tummies happy, it’s not the healthiest option. If you don’t want to break your new year’s resolutions but crave those noodle-filled dishes, here are a few healthier alternatives that will satisfy those cravings.
Does the winter chill call for a hot bowl of pho? Try this zucchini noodle chicken pho instead! It’s packed with lean protein, vegetables and herbs without as much bloat-inducing sodium.
How about some pad thai? Here is a salad version with similar flavors.
If these aren’t your cup of tea and you really want that true noodle texture, try the zero calorie and zero carb Miracle Noodle. These shirataki noodles, which are made from the konjac yam, sounds too good to be true, but trust me– it’s definitely good and very true.
Cassey Ho from Blogilates has a delicious and healthy pad thai recipe using Miracle Noodles that taste so much like the real deal, you won’t have to order it from a restaurant ever again.
