Was googling pad sew and found my way here. Looks great! If you like pad sew you should try the chinese dish “Gong chow now ho” or uhm I think in english it is beef with flat noodles?? But thanks for the recipe. I look forward to making it!

Finally got around to making this Roo. Still couldn’t find the flat noodles (buy more next time you find them please and bring them into work?).

Was a great meal. Kelly claimed I didn’t use enough Bok Choy. Always seems like there’s too much then it wilts.

I use Mac Gourmet to record my recipes and you can find it here. If you also use this software you can import this recipe.

My current fish sauce is the Thai Kitchen brand – but I agree that fish sauce in general is powerful stuff and generally I try to buy as small a bottle as possible since it takes quite a long time to use it up.

Now that I’ve made this enough times to be comfortable, I tend to skip measuring the sauces and go by feel. You might want to go a bit lighter on the fish sauce, but one adjustment I’d recommend is to go a bit heavy on the sweet soy sauce (yum). I’ve also forgotten the rice vinegar at the end and found it wasn’t as good – so while I would recommend playing with the amounts, don’t skip anything.

If you don’t have a wok, never fear. I’ve made this dish a number of times in a regular frying pan and it turns out great.

hehe I just finished eating a Pad Sew from Thai Express, I found this recipie a while ago from Chez Pim, I found the fish sauce I used (Thai Kitchen brand) completly ran away with the flavor. Next time I find myself near a T&T or in China Town i’ll have to see if I can find the Three Crab brand Kevin mentions because I love Pad Sew, and if it was just the fish sauce I used that ruined it, i’ll have to try again with a different brand. Thanks for posting, it brought back my confidence in this recipie!

It’s nice to hear others are having success and enjoying this dish. I just found it on the net – full credit should go to the original author http://www.chezpim.com for the recipe. If you look at the Chez Pim site you’ll find a recipe for Pad Thai http://www.chezpim.com/blogs/2007/01/pad_thai_for_be.html (I haven’t tried it myself but it looks good).
