It is much healthier to make Pad Thai at home rather than ordering a takeaway. This gluten-free pad thai is a healthier version of a classic takeaway dish. It is packed with veggies, tofu, and brown rice noodles. Tofu is a good source of protein and it is also an excellent source of iron, calcium, and selenium
