Super-Fly Pad Thai recipe for managing PCOS and pregnancy on Fertility Chef

Lunch: Super-Fly Pad Thai

Recipe by Rose Dunnington I've simplified one of my favorite dishes so you can make it fast. If you want, you can add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu. If you don't like spicy food, skip the red pepper flakes.

This recipe includes fertility superfoods such as:

Health and fertility benefits of Super-Fly Pad Thai

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

4 oz. wide rice noodles (sold with the Asian foods at the grocery store or at an Asian market)
hot water
1 lime
2 tbsp. fish sauce (sold with the Asian foods at the grocery store)
1 tsp. garlic powder
pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. peanut oil
1/4 c. cilantro
1 egg
1/4 c. unsalted peanuts (If you use salted peanuts, reduce the soy sauce to 1 teaspoon.)
1 c. bean sprouts

Instructions

Soak the noodles in hot water in the medium mixing bowl while you make the sauce and scramble the egg.
Squeeze the juice from the lime into a small mixing bowl. Dig out any seeds with your fingers and discard the seeds. Add the fish sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, sugar, and peanut oil to the lime juice. Beat with the fork to combine.
Scramble the egg in the skillet over medium heat. Have you scrambled an egg before? Just crack the egg into the heated nonstick skillet and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula to break up the chunks while it cooks. When the eggs are solid, drain the water off of the noodles and add them to the skillet.
Add the sauce, the peanuts, and the bean sprouts to the skillet. Stir everything together with the tongs, and cook until it’s all warm.
Turn off the stove, take the skillet off the burner, and transfer your Super-Fly Pad Thai to serving plates with tongs. Sprinkle cilantro on top of each serving and try eating with chopsticks.
