You may not accept that you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes Pad Si-iew but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat Pad Si-iew or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Pad Si-iew (Sweet Soya Beef ? Thai)

Posted by WingsFan91 at recipegoldmine.com 11/15/2001 3:30 pm

Si-iew (pronounced approximately "see yew") is the name for sweet dark soy sauce in the dominant local Chinese dialect. pad si-iew is a favorite lunch dish, a Thai version of fast food (and if you are on a diet and omit the coconut milk, not as fattening as a beefburger!)

Marinade
3 to 5 cloves garlic minced
1 medium duck egg, beaten (use chicken eggs
    if you can’t get duck eggs)
1 tablespoon cornstarch/cornflour
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon fish sauce
3 tablespoons sweet dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground ginger
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 tablespoon thinly sliced red prik ki nu
    (birdseye chiles – optional).

Take about 8 ounces (250 grams) of beef and slice it paper thin (if you don’t fancy this try and persuade your butcher to put it through the bacon slicer) and marinade the beef in the marinade for about an hour.

Marinated beef (above)
8 ounces sen yai (wide rice noodles)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
2 tablespoons oyster suace
2 tablespoons sweet dark soy sauce
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup coconut milk (optional)

Cook the noodles until tender (al dente I believe is the appropriate Italian word), in plain water, then put in cold water to halt the cooking process.

Heat a wok and using a little oil stir fry the marinated beef until it just begins to cook (because it is cut very thin, this is quite quick, so be careful not to overcook). Add the noodles and the remaining ingredients, and stir until blended and heated through. Taste the sauce for balance of flavours (it should be just on the sweet side with a salty tang).

Serve with rice and the usual Thai table condiments: prik dong (chiles in vinegar), prik pom (ground red chiles) and sugar.
