Pad See Ew

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using dried rice noodles, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes until soft. If using fresh noodles, separate them gently with your hands.

  2. 2

    Cut Chinese broccoli into 2-inch pieces, separating stems from leaves. Mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Mix together dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and white vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat.

  5. 5

    Add garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add pork slices and cook for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.

  6. 6

    Push pork to the side of the wok. Add remaining oil and the eggs. Let them set for 15 seconds, then scramble lightly.

  7. 7

    Add noodles to the wok and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes using a scooping motion.

  8. 8

    Add Chinese broccoli stems first and toss for 1 minute, then add the leaves and continue stir-frying for another minute.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle with white pepper and give everything a final toss. The noodles should have a slight char and caramelized color.

  10. 10

    Serve immediately on plates while hot.

Chef's Note

"The key to authentic Pad See Ew is the 'wok hei' - that smoky char flavor from a very hot wok. Don't overcrowd the pan, and let the noodles sit undisturbed for a moment to develop those delicious caramelized edges."
