Step-by-step
- Chicken: Slice chicken breasts (in 45-degree angle) into thin pieces - think sashimi-thin slices. Marinate chicken with ingredients under “chicken marinade”. Set aside for 15-20 mins. Best overnight.
- In the meantime, slice zucchini with a mandolin or julienne slicer to make wide zucchini noodles. Prepare 2 large minced garlic cloves and “stir-fry sauce”.
- Fried eggs: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, when hot, add 2 tbsp avocado oil. Make sunny-side up fried eggs. Try to keep the yolk soft and runny while the bottom side that touches the skillet is golden crispy brown. The eggs will be more tasty this way. Set aside.
- Pan-fry chicken: Use the same skillet and preheat over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp coconut oil. Add marinated chicken and pan-fry the chicken pieces in one single layer. Do this in batches if need be. Pan-fry until the chicken is golden brown and set aside.
- Assemble: Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, lower the heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp avocado or coconut oil. Add minced garlic and whole dried red chili. Season with a small pinch of salt and saute until fragrant (about 5-6 seconds). Add sliced broccolini. Keep sauteing for about 1 minute and season with a small pinch of salt. Add cooked chicken and eggs back to the wok. Keep sauteing and use a spatula to break up the eggs into smaller pieces (i.e., broken eggs). Add zucchini noodles. Keep stir-frying and scooping until the zucchini noodles turn slightly softer (more bendable. About 1 min). Add stir-fry sauce. Give a quick toss and serve hot and immediately.

My journey towards this Paleo Pad See Ew began with a simple desire: to enjoy the comforting flavors of Pad See Ew without the guilt of consuming refined carbohydrates and gluten. Traditional Pad See Ew relies heavily on rice noodles, a staple I’ve had to eliminate from my diet due to dietary restrictions.

Their delicate texture and ability to absorb the savory sauce beautifully surprised me. It’s a testament to how creative substitutions can lead to delicious discoveries in the kitchen.
The beauty of this recipe is its adaptability. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking. Spice-lovers might want to add more chili flakes, while those who prefer a milder flavor can reduce the amount or omit them altogether. The choice of protein is also flexible. Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or even beef for a variation that suits your taste buds. Similarly, the vegetables are easily interchangeable; experiment with different greens or add some bell peppers for an extra burst of color and nutrients.
Beyond the ease of preparation and the flexibility of ingredients, this Paleo Pad See Ew has become a favorite for its nutritional profile. Packed with lean protein, vibrant vegetables, and healthy fats, it delivers a balanced and satisfying meal without the unhealthy additives often found in takeout versions. And trust me, the crispy fried eggs perfectly complement the savory sauce and tender zucchini noodles, creating a textural experience that elevates the dish to a whole new level. It's a recipe that has quickly become a regular fixture in my family's meal rotation, a welcome addition to our healthy, delicious dinner routine.
The process of creating this dish is wonderfully therapeutic for me.
