Garlic Prawn Pad See Ew

A classic Thai prawn pad see ew seems like a basic stir-fried noodle dish, but truth be told there’s actually a fair amount of finessing going on behind the scenes. Prepping your noodles and getting that charry edge, marinating your seafood and then finishing things off with the traditional condiment make this recipe a true knockout. A simple recipe, done right… you’ll taste the difference.lu

PREP TIME

COOK TIME

SERVES

Ingredients

200g (7 oz) peeled and deveined prawns, tail on

2 garlic cloves, finely grated

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

ground white pepper

2 tbsp vegetable oil

350g (12.5 oz) fresh rice noodles*

2 tsp dark soy sauce

1/2 tsp caster (superfine) sugar

1 bunch broccolini, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 eggs, lightly whisked

chilli powder, to serve (optional)

 

Chilli vinegar

¼ cup white vinegar

1 long red chilli, finely sliced

Steps
  • Step 1

    For the chilli vinegar, combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside for later.

  • Step 2

    Place the prawns in a large bowl with the grated garlic, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, plus the sesame oil and a pinch of white pepper. Mix to combine. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the noodles, dark soy sauce and sugar, and stir-fry until the noodles have softened and start to char at the edges. Transfer the noodles to a plate and set aside.

  • Step 4

    Return the wok to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the prawns and spread them out in the wok. Leave them for a few seconds until you’ve got a nice sear on them, then stir-fry until almost cooked.

  • Step 5

    Add the broccolini and stir-fry for another minute. Add 2 tablespoons of water and allow the steam to cook the broccolini a little. Once the broccolini is nice and tender, push everything to one side of the wok, then add the egg to the empty side. Keep gently pushing the egg up the sides of the wok until it’s just starting to set, then break up and incorporate with the rest of the ingredients.

  • Step 6

    Return the noodles to the wok. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce around the edge of the wok and then sprinkle another pinch of white pepper in too. Toss everything together until well combined. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with the chilli vinegar and chilli powder, if using.

  • Notes
    Notes:

    – To make your noodles more manageable, it helps to place them in the microwave for 20 seconds or so to warm them up. Once you take them out, gently separate the noodles into lovely long strands – this extra step will ensure you don’t end with broken clumps in your pan.

Awesome Mid-Week Dinner

This one is an awesome mid-week dinner. My partner made this one for me as I was too tired to cook; it was ready in 15 minutes! I loved the beautiful charred flavour of the noodles.

Delicious and deceptively simple

Very simple and straightforward ingredients and cooking but surprisingly complex flavors and texture. Very delicious. i used low-carb shiratake noodles to keep the carbs down to almost zero. Will make this one a regular in the rotation!
