This dish is essentially classic Pad Thai with cashews in lieu of peanuts and yam noodles for a lower-carb option. It’s sweeter than the current Pad Thai adaptation on my site and less autoimmune protocol-friendly, as it includes eggs. This quickly became one of my husband’s favorite dishes to whip up on a weeknight!
