IDK if this the best pad se ew recipe, but it was good. Though the kids didn’t eat it very well.
- 16 oz dried wide rice noodles
- 12 oz chicken – or beef, shrimp, tofu, pork
- 3 cups Chinese broccoli (gai lan) – cut into bite sized pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 6 Tablespoons avocado oil – divided
Pad See Ew Sauce
- 5 Tablespoons Thai sweet soy sauce – see Note 1
- 4 Tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 Tablespoon oyster sauce
- 4 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 6 cloves garlic – minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar – (optional)
Sauce: Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Noodles: Boil 1 to 2 minutes shy of the instructions since they’ll continue to cook while being stir fried. Rinse with cold water and drain well. See Note 2.
Stir Fry Heat a large pan or wok over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add chicken (or choice of protein) and stir fry until nearly cooked.
Push it to one side then add the eggs and scramble.
Add the Chinese broccoli, drained noodles, sauce, and the rest of the oil. Raise the heat to high and quickly stir fry the noodles until well coated and sauce is absorbed. Add a tablespoon of water if needed.
For restaurant style pad see ew, allow the noodles to caramelize and slightly char on the bottom of your wok or pan. Avoid tossing the noodles for 15 to 30 seconds and then flip. Serve immediately.
- Thai sweet soy sauce – A thick, sweet soy sauce that’s molasses-like in consistency. Each brand varies in sweetness so adjust to taste. My recipe is adjusted to use this Thai brand. Highly recommend!
- Noodles – Be sure to cook your noodles after everything is prepped. Stir fry the noodles right away to avoid your noodles getting soggy and breaking apart in the wok.
- Fish sauce – This brand is good for all purpose use and not too strong or overpowering.
- Oyster sauce – Contrary to its name, it doesn’t have a strong oyster flavor but rather a sweet and savory umami taste.
- Dark soy sauce – Gives your pad see ew noodles that deep, dark color.
- Leftovers – store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.
