King Prawn Pad See Ew

King Prawn Pad See Ew

Our take on this Thai favourite stars juicy responsibly-sourced king prawns, sizzling away with a medley of vibrant veg. A more-ish honey chilli sauce brings everything together. Rice noodles soak up all the flavour. Crunchy peanuts complete the dish. Grab your chopsticks and dig in!

Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a small bowl, a measuring jug & a sieve

Let's prep

  • Thinly slice the peppers. Peel the onions and cut into 3cm chunks. Trim and cut the broccoli into thirds
  • Drain the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper
  • Add the prawns, cornflour and a pinch of salt and pepper to the medium bowl. Toss to coat

Fry the prawns

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp on high heat (we used the 30cm HexClad Hybrid Pan). Once hot, add the prawns and cook for 4 mins, until pink and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside
  • Meanwhile, add the noodles to the saucepan gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Make the sauce

  • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with half the sesame oil. Once hot, add the pepper, onion and broccoli. Cook for 5-6 mins, until tender. Season with salt and pepper
  • Combine the rice vinegar, tamari, honey, chilli flakes (to taste), remaining sesame oil and 75ml water in the small bowl

Last bits & plate up

  • Add the cooked noodles to the veg pan with the cooked prawns and sauce mixture. Toss to coat the noodles and simmer for 1-2 mins, until piping hot and thickened
  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Share the noodles between bowls
  • Roughly chop the peanuts and scatter over the noodles to finish
