Before You Start: Preparing Raw Peanuts
Before diving into the recipe, let’s talk about preparing the raw peanuts to enhance their flavor, reduce potential aflatoxins, and achieve a delightful crunchy texture. Here’s how:
- Select high-quality, fresh raw peanuts. Freshness is key to both taste and safety.
- Soak the peanuts in water for 12 hours. This process helps to activate the nuts, making them more digestible and potentially reducing aflatoxin levels.
- At the beginning of the soaking process, remove any peanuts that float to the surface. Floating nuts may be rancid or have lower quality.
- After soaking, drain the peanuts thoroughly.
- Dehydrate the soaked peanuts at 118°F (48°C) until they are fully dry and crispy. This low-temperature dehydration preserves the nuts’ “rawness” while achieving a satisfying crunch.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your raw peanuts are safer to consume and more flavorful and texturally pleasing in your Raw Vegan Peanut Pad Thai. This extra effort will significantly enhance the overall quality of your dish.

Recipe Instructions for Raw Vegan Peanut Pad Thai:
Prepare the raw peanuts 1-2 days in advance:
- Soak raw peanuts in water for 12 hours, removing any that float.
- Dehydrate at 118°F until fully dry and crispy.
- Pulse 1/2 cup of the prepared peanuts in a Vitamix blender to break them into smaller pieces, but not into powder.
- Prepare the vegetable noodles:
- Use a julienne peeler or grater to make noodles from the cucumber, avoiding the center seeds.
- Thinly slice baby bok choy, nappa cabbage, and red cabbage to create noodles.
- Cut red pepper into matchsticks.
Make the peanut sauce:
- Add half of the pulsed peanuts to the Vitamix blender.
- Add pitted dates and all remaining ingredients except the peanuts and green onions.
- Pour in 1 cup of hot water.
- Blend until smooth. The sauce should be very thick, as the vegetables will release some water when mixed.
- Combine the vegetable noodles with the peanut sauce and mix well.
Garnish:
- Finely chop the remaining pulsed peanuts.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts and finely sliced green onions over the dish.
Serve and enjoy your Raw Vegan Peanut Pad Thai!
