Chicken Pad Sew Ew Recipe

Pad Sew Ew (also spelled pad see ew, pad si u, or phat si io) is a popular meal in Thailand and Laos: essentially stir-fried noodles with meat, eggs, cooking greens, and soy sauce.

To make it Paleo here, the noodles get subbed out for thinly-shaved carrots, and the soy sauce is replaced with coconut aminos: same taste, but minus the soy and wheat (you can buy coconut aminos at most high-end grocery stores or health-food stores, or online).

As a nice bonus, swapping noodles for carrots doesn’t just make the dish more nutritious; it also gives it a much nicer color: bright-orange carrots are just more attractive than dull brown noodles.

Just make sure you don’t overcook them – ideally, vegetables should be cooked just until they start getting tender and change color, not until they’re mushy and lifeless.

Fair warning: you’re going to need a pretty big skillet to make this recipe happen: if yours isn’t quite up to the task, you might consider scrambling the eggs in a separate pan and then mixing everything up at the end. Same taste, but you won’t have to worry about anything overflowing.
