Step-by-step
- Lay your peeled carrots flat on a cutting board and use a Y-peeler to create very thin but wide ribbons. A regular vegetable peeler will work too, a Y-peeler is just easier to use when the carrot is flat. You basically just continue peeling the carrot after you’ve removed the outer dirty skin.
- Slice the chicken very thinly on a diagonal.
- Warm the oil in a deep saute pan or wok over medium heat, then add the garlic and chicken and saute for 5 minutes until the chicken is white on the outside.
- Add the broccoli, coconut aminos, and coconut sugar, and continue cooking for 5 minutes until the broccoli has softened a bit.
- Add the carrot ribbons and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Push the stir-fry aside in the pan, then crack the 2 eggs into the pan and stir vigorously to scramble them.
- Let them cook for a minute or so until they have firmed up, then mix everything back together.
Paleo Pad See Ew: A Busy Mom's Quick and Healthy Weeknight Dinner
As a working mom, time is my most precious commodity. Juggling work, kids' activities, and trying to maintain a semblance of a social life leaves me with precious little time for elaborate meal prep. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for quick, healthy, and delicious recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Enter: this Paleo Pad See Ew.
I stumbled upon this recipe while searching for healthier alternatives to traditional takeout. Let me tell you, it's a game-changer. Not only is it incredibly flavorful, but it's also surprisingly easy to whip up on a busy weeknight. The best part? It's completely Paleo-friendly, meaning it’s free of grains and refined sugars, focusing on wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients. This is important to me, as I’m always trying to prioritize healthy eating habits for my family.
The key to this recipe is the perfectly thin carrot ribbons. Don’t underestimate this step! Using a Y-peeler makes this process incredibly fast and efficient, resulting in beautiful, delicate ribbons that cook quickly and evenly. I often prep these ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for easy weeknight meals. You can use a regular vegetable peeler, but a Y-peeler is simply much more efficient.
The chicken is another star ingredient. Slicing it thinly ensures it cooks rapidly and absorbs the delicious flavors of the sauce. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast for its lean protein content. The flavor combination is a beautiful dance of savory and slightly sweet. The coconut aminos lend a salty umami depth, while the coconut sugar adds just the right touch of sweetness. Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences, and if you're following a strict SCD diet, you can substitute honey or omit it entirely.
The addition of broccoli rabe adds a welcome bitterness that balances the sweetness of the sauce, and adds great nutritional value. If you can't find broccoli rabe, Chinese broccoli or even regular broccoli works well as a substitute. This recipe is very flexible. Don't be afraid to experiment with other vegetables; bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini would all be delicious additions.
This Paleo Pad See Ew is a fantastic alternative to takeout. It's quick, healthy, and incredibly satisfying. It's a recipe that has quickly become a staple in our household, and I hope it does the same for yours. It's perfect for those busy weeknights when you crave something delicious and healthy, without sacrificing precious family time. So next time you find yourself short on time, give this recipe a try. Your family will thank you!
Tips for Success:
