You know how sometimes restaurants decide to name themselves “Best Chinese Food” or “Happy Delicious Taco Heaven”? Doesn’t it just seem like the number of accolades they bestow upon themselves directly correlates with the odds that you’ll contract E. coli just by thinking about dining at their establishment?

It’s totally like that with this dish.

(Except not.)

IMG_6841

You see…it has the word “ew” in it’s name.

Awkward.

IMG_6821

But I can tell you for a fact that I’ve been madly in love with pad see ew since 2005 and I have never noticed a single ew thing about it.

Until, that is, I got to the part in the recipe where it said to add a splash of fish sauce (times three).

At which point I had to avert my eyes and clothespin my nose shut and splash it into the pan while trying to convince myself that this step in the recipe was just a mere figment of my imagination.

Because if I knew that that god-awful scent was nestled somewhere in this bowl of noodle-y goodness…I just wouldn’t be able to eat it.  My psyche is weird that way.

IMG_6827

Hopefully you have no such ridiculous aversions or are at least equally as good at convincing yourself of things that aren’t true as I am.

Like, remember when I told myself that traveling to San Francisco to not run the marathon that I was supposed to run and watch all my friends run it would make me happy?  Uh, right…about that…

Well, here I am for better or worse!  And, actually, I’m going to be so happy to see them cross that finish line.  GO TEAM!

And to start the celebration for them…I’m sympathy carb loading.  Kind of…I’m not sure that 8 oz of pasta for four servings can be considered carb loading fo realz…but I suppose it’s carb loading lite.  Totally the way I roll these days.

I was so excited to see a recipe for Pad See Ew on Chez Pim, as Pim is the woman game changer in food whose recipes we are celebrating this week!  This is one of my favorite Thai dishes, but I rarely order it since it’s so calorically dense.  Made at home, though, it can actually be healthy as well as delicious!  So if you want to support my friends in their marathoning endeavors and “carb load (lite)” as well, then you can do so without a speckle of guilt.

NOTE – See bottom of post for the GIVEAWAY!

Pad See Ew
Serves 4, adapted from Chez Pim

Ingredients

  • 1 package firm tofu, pressed and cut into large dice (or chicken, pork, beef)
  • 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp peanut oil, divided
  • 1 lb broccoli, chopped
  • 1 eggplant, chopped
  • 8 oz flat rice noodles, soaked in lukewarm water until pliable
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2-3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine the tofu, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a large bowl.  Allow to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes in the fridge.
  2. Heat a wok on the highest your stove will go.  Add a tiny splash of oil.  Throw in the broccoli and eggplant, as well as a splash of fish sauce.  Cook, stirring frequently, until eggplant is cooked through.  Remove from wok and set aside.
  3. Add another splash of oil.  Add the noodles to the pan, shaking the wok a few times to coat them with oil.  Add about a tbsp of soy sauce and another splash of fish sauce.  Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any charred bits, until the noodles are cooked through.  Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Add a final splash of oil, followed by the garlic and the tofu.  Let the tofu char for a few seconds and then flip.  When the tofu is browned on all sides, move it to the side of the pan and crack one egg in the middle.  Let the egg sit for a few seconds and then stir everything together.
  5. Throw the veggies back into the pan.  Stir quickly to mix, then throw the noodles back in as well.  Add soy sauce and rice vinegar to taste as well as 1 tbsp brown sugar.

NOTE – I realize that the fish sauce and oyster sauce don’t make this 100% vegetarian, but there are vegetarian versions of these out there, so use them as you see fit!

132 Responses to Pad See Ew…and a GIVEAWAY!

  1. Love it when a heavier dish is made light and delicious! As for my fav cookie, I’d have to say it’s a classic oatmeal chocolate chip!

  2. I was going to say something profound but got distracted by the lasagna tart below.

    Peanut butter cookies, of course!

  3. bellini says:

    This is an amazing dish Joanne and you are right there is notning “ew” about it!~

  4. This dish looks interesting, never heard of it before. Also use of some ingredients like oyster sauce and sesame oil seem unusual for Thai dishes – I wonder if its a Chez Pim creation/innovation.

    My favourite cookie is a ‘free cookie’:) I am not fussed with the flavour and ingredients – pretty much love them all.

  5. OohLookBel says:

    I feel the same way about fish sauce – can’t stand the smell but love the taste (as long as it’s mixed with less pong-y things). And pad see EWW! is one of my fave dishes, too! WIN!

  6. Anonymous says:

    Cool dish!

    My favorite cookie would be white macadamia nut. Yum!

    [email protected]

  7. Sam says:

    Pad see ew is my favorite thing to get at Thai restaurants. Of course, we don’t go out for Thai food since I accidentally let it slip that Thai food uses fish sauce. In the long list of things my BF doesn’t eat, fish (or “anything that comes from the ocean”) is pretty high up there.

    As far as cookies go, I really like soft, chewey ginger cookies.

  8. I actually have never had Pad See Ew before but it really does sound good. Fish sauce scares me, but if you say it is ok I trust you! Hope you have fun in San Fran this weekend even if it isn’t what you originally planned! Can’t believe our trip is just a few weeks away:-)

  9. Kelly says:

    Joanne, this dish looks positively delightful. Love the crisp, bright green of the broccoli – looks so inviting!

  10. My favorite cookies are chocolate chips.

  11. Looks amazing! My kid has named a lot of things EW!
    Tate’s are awesome. Fave is the chocolate chip. Thin and crispy. Perfect cookie.

  12. Danielle says:

    Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles!

  13. That Girl says:

    This is my husband’s favorite Thai dish. When should we expect you over to make it?

  14. Elizabeth says:

    I discovered pad see ew in college and I never looked back. I still love pad thai but I order pad see ew in restaurants at least half the time. Also, looove tate’s cookies.

  15. Rob is in SF this week (for work) and I am lonely at home… and jealous he gets to be there.. while I write my personal letters… anyways. enjoy your trip to SF even if you don’t run your marathon because there are tons of things to do there (Rancho Gordo beans at the Ferry Terminal!!!).

    I saw this on Dawn’s blog but have never tried it…. but I have some broccoli at home and it is on sale again this week, so perhaps I’ll give this a go!

  16. Oh, and favourite cookie? I have a lovely cinnamon snap cookie on my blog that I make for Christmas… delish!

  17. A giveaway- how much fun! Count me in. I love the pad dish. So pretty and flavorful. I am not one to crave pad but you have me going on it this morning for sure!

  18. Kari says:

    My favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin. The dark chocolate cookies look awesome though!

  19. SillySally says:

    My favorite cookie is Chocolate chip oatmeal! These look great!

  20. Allison says:

    That is hilarious. I have to hide the bottle of fish sauce from my husbands eyes. As much as he likes Asian food he can’t stand the smell of fish sauce.

  21. Nicole, RD says:

    I am not vegetarian and happen to LOVE seafood more than life itself and fish sauce still gives me the hee-bee jee-bees. And then there’s the fact that it’s shelf-stable before being opened…ew. That’s the only “ew” that comes to mind, but the pad see ew….YUM! Looks delicious!

    And my favorite cookie….White Chocolate Chip Cranberry as of this very moment. But that changes on a near hourly basis. 🙂 Love Tate’s!

  22. tsteele999 says:

    My favorite is my Mom’s chocolate crinkle cookies, my ex wife could make them okay but now I am back to waiting on Mom again.

  23. brocstar says:

    Sympathy carb-loading… that’s something I can believe in!

    eneubauer @ clear . net

  24. I can’t do fish sauce either. I KNOW that it is good in recipes but I just can’t bring myself to buy it. Oyster sauce is the same way, it doesn’t smell but it’s just a mental thing. When I found out that Worcestershire sauce has fish in it, I freaked out. Now, I just hold my hands over my eyes and sing, “la,la,la, not thinking about the fish…” as I’m using it.

    Don’t like the name of this either but I’m sure it’s good, I LOVE asian food!

    Cookie? Snickerdoodles would have to make the top of the list. Or Macaroons, is that a cookie?

  25. Heather says:

    The idea of fish sauce definitely sounds interesting… not sure what else I’d ever use it for, though!

    Mmm.. favorite cookie? Because it’s October I’d have to go with Pumpkin Chocolate Chip at the moment! Yum!

  26. Sofia says:

    cookies = not ew. same goes for this dish. yum!

    my favorite cookie? oatmeal raisin, or any variety of oatmeal-y cookie with lots of stuff in it. yum.

  27. I love the way you write! I haven’t quite found my “food voice” yet….anywho, my favorite cookies are white chocolate chunk cookies…or maybe golden oreos. Those are my new found love.

  28. girlichef says:

    YUM! All of these “pad” names create an illusion of something not as amazing as they turn out to be, I think. This definitely does not sound ew, I will be trying it!

  29. Amy says:

    I love fish sauce! And Oyster sauce…which I gather you’re not too fond of either. I learned something new about you today 😀

  30. Mitra H says:

    I LOVE almost all kinds of cookies (as long as they’re devoid of peanut butter and raisins). As far as a single favorite, I guess my fav would have to be my faithful go to: soft chocolate chip cookies with semi sweet and dark chocolate chips with just a tiny bit of oatmeal (just enough so I can delude myself into thinking its healthy), a hint of cinnamon, and a couple of drops of almond extract, topped with some flaked salt before baking. Right now though, I’m obsessed with all things pumpkin, so I throw some of that in there too just because I can. ([email protected])

    Oh man, I love anything with good, dark chocolate, but I have to say that a good peanut butter cookie can hardly be beat.

  32. This dish looks amazing! My favorite cookies will be pineapple tart with buttery crust and sweet tangy filling..

  34. Looks like a great side dish, and healthy as well! Richard from Amish Stories.

    I love pad see ew!
    My fave cookie is oatmeal raisin!

  36. I also asked that one time why there’s a “ew” at the end. Definitely not an EW as this counts as one of my Thai favorite dishes too. I never cooked this before, would love to have it for lunch today.

    And yay, giveaway, my favorite cookie is chocolate crinkles.. yum!

  37. Ranjani says:

    yes! this is one of my favorite Thai dishes! cannot wait to try making it myself

  38. Hehe..Fish sauce is so sticky but it’s amazing how it really can’t be left out. The recipe just isn’t the same with out it. I never did figure out why one little ingredients that smells so bad could be so crucial…

  39. Mmm. The Pad See Ew looks very good. Will have to try it. Looks like something my kids would love too.

    My favorite cookie? Hmmm. That’s a tough one. I adore bakery butter cookies, classic chocolate chip cookies, spice cookies … Well, okay, it could be said that I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like.

  40. My favorite thai place calls the dish pad see you… when I read your title I actually thought you hated the dish 🙂
    My favorite cookie (boring, I know) is a super plump choc chip cookie. I love all sorts of funkier varieties but you can never go wrong with a classic!

  41. Jenna says:

    I love pad see ew, and I always order it at our favorite Thai place here in town (Siam Noodle & Rice). I even made it at home a couple times and found Chinese broccoli to use–delicious. I wouldn’t mind a bowl of this for lunch in about 2 hours. Mmm!
    And as for my favorite cookie, SHORTBREAD!! Shortbread all the way.

  42. Rachel says:

    I like oatmeal raisin cookies and peanut butter cookies.

  43. Shannon says:

    ooh, i’ve tasted pad see ew before, but there’s something about chinese food that i’m just not a fan of. homemade is a totally different story though, and this looks fantastic!! but fish sauce… yeah, i need to get that to make pad thai at home but i’m a little scared :/

    ps- favorite cookie? peanut butter.

  44. I’ve been having an “affair” with Thai food for about fifteen years now and have a favorite restaurant and adore the owners!! This is one of my favorite dishes and I know how fish sauce marries with other Thai flavors to produce a delicious dish. Sweet, salty, sour and spicy are the name of the game for me.

    I’d have to say my favorite cookie is chocolate chip but there are many others and close second, third…….etc.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  45. teal george says:

    ah! coookies! i’ve been living over here in germany for 3 years and i miss other people making good cookies. today i made my favorite cookie – my busha’s soft n chewy ginger bread. perfect for this rainy fall weather over here.

    take care! and kisses from berlin,

  46. my favorite is chocolate chip oatmeal

  47. Welcome to sunny San Francisco! You hit great weather, as we were just up there last Sunday. I had to laugh at the fish sauce aversion. The first time I used it, I almost gagged. (Note to self: never, ever sniff the bottle.) Somehow, it does transform into great flavors, doesn’t it? LOVED the shot of the eggplant. I don’t like eggplant, but I admire how photogenic they are. HOWEVER, I will eat eggplant. I’m hoping, one day, to fall in-love with. Mr. Broccoli, however, works for me. I’ve got a Tate’s giveaway to do, so count me out and we’ll let a Tate’s virgin win these great cookies.

  48. Rachel says:

    Favorite cookie…probably snickerdoodles.
    I love restaurants with wacky names like that. There’s a plethora of them in my neighborhood.
    This is a dish i’ve never tried but now I’m intent to make it at home!

    I think I missed something – are you in San Francisco?

  49. wow, anything thai and I am in. Love your pad see kew.

    Of course, I am surely in for the giveaway ([email protected])

  50. Veronica says:

    The word “ew” in the title made me giggle but I would totally eat this and wouldn’t mind the fish sauce part at all! Easy to say when I’ve never actually opened a bottle of fish sauce and took a whiff. 🙂 My favorite cookie is good old chocolate chip, so these are right up my alley. ([email protected])

  51. romanholiday says:

    I love any cookie as long as it’s without pecans or walnuts (I’m allergic)…but I generally prefer crisp-at-edges, chewy-interior cookies. Thnk you for this giveaway!

  52. Claudie says:

    I wish I hadn’t eaten pasta last night. Because if I knew you’d be posting this, I would have waited and eaten this tonight 🙂 Looks delicious! Though, I will admit: I’ll skip the fish and oyster sauces since I can’t stand even a tiny bit of seafood. (Alright, except the nori for vegetarian sushi 😀 )

  53. Nothing ew about this recipe! Looks amazing!

    (I’m never sure if these giveaways are open to international readers, but I just like to point out that my favorite cookie is Peanut Butter and Fudge Oatmeal!)

    Favorite cookie? Tie between chocolate chip and my grandma’s gingerbread cookie recipe. Flourless peanut butter cookies are also pretty up there for me.

  55. Jeanette says:

    Pad See Ew is one of my favorite dishes to order when go out for Thai. So funny, about the fish sauce!

  56. Catherine says:

    Dear Joanne,
    I think they should rename this dish!! It looks delish and wonderful in every way!

    I’ll carb-load-lite with you, I love thai food! And I totally know what you mean about silly restaurant names. How about TownName Gourmet? Does that sound like a Chinese restaurant you’d ever want to eat in?

  61. MS2 says:

    I am assuming you mean the Nike Women’s Marathon… cool that you are going to watch your friends! There are about 45 MS2s from UCD running (including myself). You’ll probably see us in our blue shirts that say “Don’t trust us, we’re not doctors yet!” haha!

    Hope you are having a good time in SF. Sorry about your injury Joanne and this dish DOES look amazing despite the times three of Fish sauce. Love,”noodle-y goodness”. Must use it. Will quote you. 🙂

  81. I absolutely love pad see ew… but never thought to make it at home. totally using this recipe from now on!

  82. Barbara says:

    Love your take on the name….there’s a Chinese dish I love called Chow Dun. I always giggle inside when I order it (my age notwithstanding). You can’t help it but the waiter never cracks a smile.
    Great example from Pim, Joanne!

  83. Cate says:

    Vegetarian fish sauce is the best thing that ever happened to me! It’s not EXACTLY the same, but close enough!

  84. I admire your passion and perseverance for the healthy and delicious food. The noodle looks delectable!

  85. Sara says:

    Ooooh, I LOVE pad see ew…definitely one of my favorites at Thai restaurants. I LOVE the noodles, way better than pad thai noodles!

    Great giveaway – I haven’t had Tate’s Cookies, but in general my favorite cookie is oatmeal chocolate chip. 🙂

  86. Oh my gosh, I read the title of your post too fast and thought you were having an iPad giveaway. There is nothing that looks ew about this recipe either 🙂 I hate how fish sauce smells but love how it flavors dishes like this.

    Have a wonderful time in San Fran! Love that city.

  87. love this one of my favorite Thai dishes

  88. I just made this dish and it was delish! We loved it and we’ll be making it more often from now one.

    My fave cookie would have to be the ANZAC cookies!

  89. Carolyn Jung says:

    To me, fish sauce always means “yum,” and never “eww.” LOL
    I love the stuff in stir-fries and even Caesar dressing.

  90. Pad see ew is my favorite Thai noodle dish, better than the pad Thai. Pim’s recipe is one of the best version I;ve come across.

  98. Rachel says:

    I love Pad See Ew, so I’ll definitely be giving this recipe a try! I know what you mean about fish sauce, though – the smell is vile. I once had a bottle break open in my kitchen cupboard. It took us about two weeks to get rid of the smell…and I’m not kidding when I say I spent though two weeks seriously thinking about moving out! 😉

    On a pleasanter note, I also love cookies! My favorites are gingersnaps.

  99. So proud of you for braving fish sauce in pursuit of delicious Thai! I looove pad see ew (and pad kee mau, the spicier version)!!! Nicely done. Looks amazing 🙂

    And Pad see-ew is my FAVORITE thai dish….yum-o!

  109. La Liz says:

    Beautiful, healthy-looking dish — gorgeous broccali and eggplant. I’ve never met a “Pad [fill in the blank]” dish that I didn’t like, but yours is esp. yummy.

    Shortbread cookies are my favorite, as they’re easy to make and almost universally loved. Kind of a cross between sugar and savory; and when there are no eggs on hand, you can still make shortbread and please your guests. Erma Rombauer’s recipe is the best.

    My favorite cookies (which I’d never had before moving to New York) are Black and White cookies! So yummy!

    My favorite is “plain” ol’ chocolate chip cookies

  117. Totally knwo what you mean about the fish sauce. Its such a god awful smell but somehow it makes everything taste just that much better

    I have heard vegetarian versions of fish sauce and oyster sauce too but I don’t think they match up to the non-vegetarian sauces. In some cases, they may even make food taste ….urghhh!

    Joanne, that broccoli looks fantastic. You just made me add broccoli to my meal plan for the week. The color made me smile and now I’m craving it. Thanks!

    Oh, and whole wheat chocolate chip cookies pretty much are my favorite cookie of all time. I love lemon cookies too, but the chocolate always trumps it.

  120. Fish sauce DOES smell utterly vile, doesn’t it? 🙂 Amazing how something so nasty can make things taste so darn good! 🙂 My favorite cookies are oatmeal chocolate chip with dark chocolate chips. 🙂

  121. I hope you’re feeling better today!

  123. There’s no perfect substitute for fish sauce, so if anyone’s going to make this, they should spring for the fishy stuff! Another good dish you’ve come up with. Yum. Hmmm, peanut butter cookies are so good. Oh, and crispy oatmeal raisin. Let’s just go with a semi-soft peanut butter oatmeal raisin. 🙂

    mmmmm, cookies! My favorite…it’s so hard to choose – oatmeal with dark chocolate chunks & toasted pecans? Ohhh, now I want some!

    Fish sauce. Ahem. I don’t cook much Asian food at all, but my cousin convinced to try one of his recipes and it called for fish sauce. I bought it, used it… .and was good!!

  126. I hold my breath when I pour in the fish sauce too. It does do wonders for a dish, but smells terrible going in!
    The pad see ew looks very tasty indeed. ?

  128. Love Pad See Ew, but I have never added eggplant to it. Sounds good.

    I almost always order Pad See Ew and just bought the big flat noodles to make it – I’ll have to try this recipe!

  130. Yumm your pad see ew looks so good. I love your giant broccoli pieces. I actually tried this dish for the first time last year and fell in love with it. I need to find a good fish sauce free version!
