Non-traditional Pressure Cooker Pad See Ew {Thai Beef Rice Noodles} cooks in a rich and flavorful sweet and slightly salty Oyster Sauce mixture.

You have loved my Thai Pad See Ew, Stir Fried Noodles version and have been asking for an Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker version.

After many attempts, I was finally able to perfect this recipe for cooking under pressure.

This recipe has been tested with Beef, Pork and Chicken and works well with all three.

My preference, I think because of history is the Beef version.

Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Pad See Ew

What are the Ingredients for Pad Se Eww?

  • Sirloin or Flank Steak
  • Rice Flake Noodles
  • Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli) – see notes below.
  • Eggs

Some people like to use Pork or Chicken, instead of Beef.

Interestingly, enough, I think this is the only Thai or Chinese dish that I prefer using Beef.

How do you make the Sauce for Pad Se Eww ?

  • Soy Sauce
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Sweet/Sweet/Black Soy Sauce
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Distilled Vinegar
  • White Sugar
  • Fish Sauce
  • Fresh Garlic

In a Glass Measuring Cup or other vessel, whisk up the Sauce until well blended.

(Of course, I have to show you my very favorite Flat Whisk.)

 

Sauté the Square Rice Noodles

What are Rice Flake Noodles?

  • They are Square Noodles, which are thin.
  • Rice Flake Noodles cook up quickly.
  • They sometimes roll up like a tube.

Sauteing them a little will release starch and help them stay flat.

Because of the short cook time, there is no need to soak them in water first.

 

Push the Noodles to the Side

Push the Noodles to the Side

The Eggs can be softly scrambled in the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker prior to adding the Beef.

If using a larger Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker, you can push the Beef and Noodles to the sides and made a hole in the middle and scramble the Eggs after pressure is released.

They can also be cooked separately and added in at the end.

Just do whatever works for you.

 

Make Soft Scrambled Eggs

Make Soft Scrambled Eggs

If scrambling the Eggs prior to pressure cooking, just do a very soft scramble.

Two or three Eggs work well for this amount.

 

Combine Beef and Marinade with the Eggs and Noodles

Combine Beef and Marinade with the Eggs and Noodles

The pot will deglaze with the Sauce.

At the same time, the Beef will cook a little bit, so that we can use a short cook time to make sure the Noodles won’t turn to a big ball of mush.

 

 

Gai Lan Stems Go in Last

What is Gai Lan?

It is a Cantonese name and Jie Lan is the Chinese name of the green, leafy vegetable.

The flavor is similar to Broccoli, but slightly more bitter.

It has thick green leaves with very thick stems.

To my taste, it is a cross between Broccoli and Broccoli Rabe, which is use often in Italian cooking.

What can I Substitute for Gai Lan?

If you cannot find Gai Lan, I would substitute Broccoli Rabe for it, rather than Broccoli.

Only the stems of the Gai Lan go in, right before the Lid goes on.

No need to mix them in, as we want them to just barely cook.

 

Wilt the Gai Lan Leaves

Wilt the Gai Lan Leaves

The thick Gai Lan Leaves will quickly wilt in the residual heat.

What are other Thai Recipes?

Pressure Cooker Vietnamese Pho Tai – just kidding, but I really love this soup!

Pressure Cooker Thai Triple Coconut Rice

Pressure Cooker Thai Coconut Chicken

I made this so many times, using beef, pork and chicken!

So, in case you are wondering about the color of the meat that keeps changing, that’s why. 🙂

What Goes with Instant Pot Pad See Ew?

Pressure Cooker Chinese Hot and Sour Soup makes a great first course!

Pressure Cooker Thai Moo Wan Sweet Pork with Coconut Rice is nice to make with this Pressure Cooker Pad See Ew, so you can have a little of each.

I hope you will try this recipe and I would love to know if you prefer Beef like me or another meat.
