Poutine Pad Thai is an Asian twist on the classic French-Canadian dish, with Idaho Potato Noodles, Vegetables, Chicken, and Cheese Curds. Peanuts, Cilantro and Lime Wedges complete the dish for a colorful and unique presentation!

I put an Asian twist on the classic, by substituting Idaho Potatoes for regular noodles in one of my favorite dishes – Pad Thai! Poutine, a French-Canadian classic, is traditionally French fries, brown gravy, and cheese curds. I am entering this dish into the Idaho Potato Commission Recipe Contest for National Sunday Supper Month. We were tasked with creating an original dish, inspired by the classic. There are so many different and delicious recipe interpretations from fellow food blogging friends.

Spiraled vegetables are so popular now, that I knew potatoes would be perfect for my dish. I used the medium/large spiral setting, because I didn’t want the noodles to be too thin. Zucchini noodles are shortened to “zoodles”, so does that mean that my potato noodles can be called “poodles”? Nah, we’ll just stick to calling them potato noodles, because we really don’t want people to think I am sauteing a furry dog in an Asian sauce…

One of my shortcuts is to use jarred Pad Thai sauce, because I can never really get the same flavor when I make it from scratch. Broccoli Slaw and Bean Sprouts are a must in my Pad Thai, as well as scrambled eggs. I cooked extra chicken earlier in the week and shredded it for this recipe. Sometimes I use pork or shrimp too. The cheese curds are an unexpected twist, but they actually go really well with the Pad Thai Sauce. I love sprinkling chopped peanuts and cilantro on top and using freshly squeezed lime juice.
