I love daikon. It’s an all around fantastic cleansing food. It’s a liver cleanser (I already discussed why I place great emphasis on keeping my liver healthy), abundant in digestive enzymes, anti-bacterial and a skin enhancer to boot. But it’s delicious as well. I knew it was a nutritional powerhouse but did not expect it to be such a tasty gluten-free pasta alternative.
I enjoy having it as a light, low fat raw pad thai with some carrots and broccoli.
I use a Spiralizer (same as when making zucchini or cucumber pasta) for the daikon noodles. I then sprinkle some of my favorite veggies on top and finish off with a few tablespoons of spicy almond, ginger sauce.

- INSTRUCTIONS
- Peel and make the daikon noodles using a spiralizer.
- Place all the Almond Ginger Sauce ingredients in the Vitamix (a food processor using the S-shaped blade will work as well but you might need to add a bit more water).
- Blend until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Pour the Almond Ginger Sauce over the daikon pasta and sprinkle the shredded carrots, broccoli and bell pepper on top.
- If you can bear to let the sauce sit in the fridge for an hour or so, it’ll taste even better!
- Enjoy!

THANK YOU so much for publishing this recipe. I made it tonight for the first time, and absolutely loved it. I have been looking for a low fat pad thai vegan recipe, and this one is fabulous. I made mine with a red bell pepper. I didn’t have any apple cider vinegar in the house, so I substituted it with white wine vinegar. I wonder if lime would be a nice substitute as well? Regardless, this is a recipe I will use again and again. Blessings to you. 🙂
I just made is tonight and this is literally one of the best things I have ever made! I shared it with all of my roommates and a male friend of mine and everyone loved it and begged for the recipe! The only thing I changed was that I used Green papaya like they do in Thai papaya salad in place of zucchini noodles…. i live in Haiti, so i have access to Green papaya but not zucchini, so it worked out! But, i HIGHLY recommend this recipe! Amazing!
That looks REALLY good!
I love your recipe…I will try it 🙂
