​Easy 20 Minute Pad See Ew

12/22/2024

 
Picture

Pad See Ew is one of our favorite menu items at our favorite Thai restaurant. So when I saw a recipe for an Easy 20 minute version, I had to give it a try in the Delaney Test Kitchen. 

This recipe was not hard at all. The hardest part was finding the right noddles, which I wasn't able to do until afterwards. So we sufficed with regular Pad Thai noodles and it tasted just fine.  And now I have stocked up on the correct rice noodles for the future.

In short, this was an easy, crowd pleasing meal that can definitely be added to the weeknight dinner rotation!

Easy 20 Minute Pad See Ew

INGREDIENTS:
1  ½ lb fresh wide flat rice noodles (separated)

Steak:
8oz steak, thinly sliced into 2 inch pieces
2  Tbsp Thai soy sauce
½  tsp brown sugar
2  tsp vegetable oil

Sauce:
2 Tbsp Oyster sauce
2 Tbsp Thai soy sauce
2 Tbsp Thai black soy sauce
1 Tbsp fish sauce
1 ½ Tbsp brown sugar
1  Tbsp water

Stir-fry:
5  garlic cloves, minced
2  large eggs, whisked
4  stalks Chinese broccoli, thinly sliced
 
PREPARATION:
1. Marinate the Beef. In a large bowl add the sliced beef, Thai soy sauce, brown sugar and vegetable oil.  Mix thoroughly and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the noodles. If you are using fresh noodles, gently unravel the noodles with your fingers. If they are difficult to separate or slightly dry, soak the noodles in warm water to loosen the, If you are using dried noodles., cook them according to the package instructions.

3. Mix the sauce. In a medium sized bowl, add the oyster sauce, Thai soy sauce, Thai black soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and water. Mix until combined and the sugar dissolves.

4. Cook the beef. Heat 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok over medium high heat. Then add the beef and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until done, and set aside.

5. Sauté the garlic and the Chinese broccoli. Heat 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil in the wok over medium-high heat. When the wok is hot, add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Then add the Chinese broccoli and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until wilted.

6. Scramble the eggs. Push everything to the side, and add the whisked eggs. Let it sit for 10 seconds, and then scramble. Then remove everything from the wok and set aside.

7. Add the noodles and the sauce. Toss the noodles into the wok and spread them evenly across the pan. Char them for about 30 seconds, then add the sauce and toss until the noodles are evenly coated and carmelized.

8. Add the beef, broccoli and eggs and toss until combined. Serve immediately and Enjoy!


One Pan Peri Peri Chicken & Rice

Nando's is very popular in my house, so when my husband sent me the recipe for Nando's Peri Peri Chicken on IG from @archerkitchen, I knew we had to give it a go in the Delaney Test Kitchen. And it did not disappoint.

There's a lot of chopping to help engage others (children) in the dinner process, but once it starts cooking it is super easy.
And it is easy to regular the level of heat for a variety of palates.
Enjoy!



One Pan Peri Peri Chicken & Rice

​
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red chili pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Nando’s Peri Peri seasoning*, divided
  • 150g basmatic Rice (approx. 5.3 oz)
  • 350 ml chicken stock (approx. 12 oz)
  • 600g chicken (boneless, skinless) (approx.1.3lbs)
  • 30g grated cheddar (I used ¼ cup)
  • 1 Tbsp Nando’s Peri Peri marinade sauce (as garnish)
 
*Note: I was unable to find Nando’s seasoning so I made my own mixture of chili and lime seasoning, cumin, paprika and oregano and it worked great.

PREPARATION:

1. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, zucchini, bell pepper and chili along with 1 Tbsp of the Peri Peri seasoning until vegetables are softened.

2. Add the chicken to the pan along with the remaining 1 Tbsp of the Peri Peri seasoning and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

3. Stir in the basmatic rice and the chicken stock. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed.
​
4. Sprinkle the grated cheddar over the top, and allow it to melt. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp of Nando’s Peri Peri marinade sauce and Enjoy!

    ​You can work hard all day, maybe even get your MBA,  - but the truth is that regardless of how successful you are or how long your day is - there is only one question when you get home: what's for dinner. So I am always on the lookout for recipes that won't take more that 30 minutes to prepare, that are flavorful, and that (almost) everyone will eat.  I hope these help!
