Thailand Pad See Ew
Pad see ew (stir-fried soy sauce noodles) is a classic Thai street food that has been popularized internationally due to its presence on the menus of Thai restaurants in countries around the world. The key to tasty pad see ew is in the sauce, which generally incorporates different types of soy sauce, oyster or fish sauce, vinegar, and sugar. The level of heat is also important—too high and the sauce burns, too low and the dish's distinct smoky taste doesn't develop. Recipe Servings: Serves 3

Ingredients
Noodles:- 9 oz (255 g) fresh wide flat rice noodles (sen yai) or 6 oz (170 g) dried wide rice stick noodles
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) dark soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) oyster sauce
- 2 tsp (10 ml) all-purpose soy sauce
- 2 tsp (10 ml) white vinegar
- 2 tsp (10 ml) sugar
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) water
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 5 oz (142 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups (700 g) chinese broccoli, leaves separated from stems, stems cut vertically into thin sticks
Directions
- Prepare noodles according to package instructions. For fresh noodles, place boiled water in a bowl and soak for 2–3 minutes (do not boil noodles in a pot). Drain when ready.
- As noodles are soaking, mix sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl until well incorporated.
- Add peanut/vegetable oil to a wok and mince garlic directly into oil. Heat wok on medium-high to high heat. The garlic will infuse the oil with flavor as it heats.
- When oil is hot and garlic is starting to brown, add chicken and Chinese broccoli stems. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Move Chinese broccoli and chicken to one side of wok. Crack egg directly into wok and scramble it. Some will stick to wok, which is desirable.
- Add noodles, Chinese broccoli leaves, and sauce to wok. Fold gently to combine. Coat noodles evenly and cook until sauce begins to caramelize and leaves just begin to wilt.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
