Ingredients
Noodles:
200g / 7 oz dried wide rice stick noodles (or 450g fresh Sen Yai noodles)
Sauce:
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce (or all-purpose soy sauce)
2 tsp white vinegar
2 tsp sugar
Stir Fry:
3 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 cup / 150g chicken thighs, sliced (boneless, skinless)
1 large egg
4 stems Chinese broccoli (cut stems and leaves, see prep)
Instructions
Preparation:
Cut Chinese broccoli into 3-inch pieces. Separate stems from leaves. Slice stems vertically if thick.
Cook noodles per package instructions and drain. Use immediately for best texture.
In a bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until sugar dissolves.
Cooking:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
Add garlic and cook 15 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until mostly cooked.
Add Chinese broccoli stems and cook briefly. Then add leaves and stir until wilted.
Push everything aside and scramble the egg in the same pan.
Remove all contents from the wok and set aside. Wipe wok clean.
Add 2 tbsp oil to the wok and heat until smoking. Add noodles and sauce, tossing quickly to caramelize edges (1–1.5 minutes).
Return chicken and veggies to the wok. Toss quickly to combine. Serve hot!
Notes
Noodles: If using fresh rice noodles, follow specific prep methods to avoid breakage.
Substitutions: Use bok choy or broccolini if Chinese broccoli is unavailable. Tofu, shrimp, or pork can replace chicken.
Key Technique: Cook noodles and meat separately for proper caramelization—essential for authentic Pad See Ew flavor.
Soy Sauce Types: Avoid substituting all soy sauces with dark soy as it’s more intense.
