Hearty spaghetti noodles, broccoli, green onions and vegan bacon, tossedin a deliciousmiso sauce, and vegan eggs. Am I the only one that craves multiple types of noodles at once? No? Ok.
This week on The Edgy Veg, I’m going to show you how to turn Chrissy Teigen’s popular (and controversial) Pad Thai Carbonara recipe vegan! Chrissy Teigen is one of my favourite humans and her cookbooks are incredibly beautiful. Even as someone who is plant based, I can appreciate the eye-candy that is a gorgeous food photo.
This particular recipe of hers caused quite the stir on Instagram due to mixing Pad Thai flavours with a classic Carbonara recipe. Like, what? Two distinctivelyunique cultural dishes into one? So many people thought that it was wrong, but I’m all about fusion food, so when you guys suggested veganizing some of her recipes, I had to start with this guy. Plus,now I can enjoy it too.
If guys LOVE Pad Thai, as well as Carbonara, then you’re probably going to love these two amazing dishes together. It’s confusing at first- but grows on you. it is SO tasty.
The eggs and bacon make this dish like a carbonara, but the Thai flavours make it pad Thai – This is the flavour hybrid that drove the internet wild. I tried veganizing it with vegan eggs and vegan bacon to see if I could get it to look and taste like the original but totally plant-based. Watch the video below to see how it turned out.

This recipe only needed a few swaps. The Eggs and the bacon. For the bacon, I used King’s Cafe Vegetarian vegan bacon (it’s available in Toronto where I Live) but any vegan bacon will do! For the eggs, I swapped with Vegan Egg, but Just Egg or the Vegg Scramble will work as well. When it comes to pasta, most store-bought varieties are in fact vegan, unless it’s fresh pasta; just make sure to read your labels.
