Pad see ew (AKA chicken and broccoli stir-fried with flat rice noodles) is one of my favorite Thai dishes, and it’s on the menu at most Thai restaurants.
However, while I’m sometimes OK eating white rice and rice noodles when traveling (white rice is often considered a clean starch), it’s still something I try to avoid when at home. That’s why this recipe uses easy cucumber noodles instead.
If you’re also a Thai fan (or just a noodle fan in general), then I know you’ll be very pleased with this recipe. It’s very easy and very delicious…
- Break the broccoli up into small florets.
- Cut the chicken breast into small, thin pieces.
- Grate the ginger, mince the garlic, chop up the green onions, and chop up the cilantro.
- Place the coconut oil into a sauté pan.
- Add in the chicken and the green onions and sauté.
- Add in the broccoli, ginger, and tamari sauce, and then place a lid over the sauté pan and let the broccoli cook on medium heat until it’s tender to your liking (approx. 5-10 minutes).
- Use a potato peeler to create strands of long cucumber noodles. Divide the cucumber noodles between 2 plates.
- Add to the sauté pan the minced garlic, cilantro, and salt to taste. Divide and serve on top of the cucumber noodles.
