Pad See Ew

 












There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of Thai restaurants in the Seattle area. So its a given for any resident longer than 6 months, you come to love virtually anything on a thai menu. But nothing beats homemade: especially when a friends whose mom still lives in Thailand hands down a recipe for pad see ew.

Ingredients: as with most Asian dishes, the ingredients can vary widely, and there is no measuring of spices and oils, so use these as a guide. Everything should be available at your Asian grocery.

• Sauces: Sweet Sauce, Soy Sauce, Fish Sauce, Red Chili Paste, Diced Garlic, Sesame Oil
• Veggies: Bok Choy, Broccoli, Leeks and Onions, are a good choice
• Fresh thai noodles
• Meat: Really anything, we used Chicken breast, but great for tofu, chickpeas or shrimp

Directions:

• Clean and dice meat, place in a bowl with a bit of sesame oil, diced garlic and red chili paste to marinate while you chop other ingredients
• Dice onions, chop into bite sized pieces the remaining vegetables
• Heat oil with garlic in a wok (or large sautee pan), add chicken and brown
• Whisk together all sauces, set aside
• Remove chicken to a plate with paper towel to drain
• Add veggies, and 1/4 cup of water to deglaze pan. Sautee until cooked through.
