Ingredients
PAD SEE EW SAUCE
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce or use a mix of dark and light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sugar or use brown sugar
FOR THE PAD SEE EW
- 3 tablespoons canola oil or other high-heat cooking oil
- 8 ounces chicken breast thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups Chinese broccoli cut into small pieces (or use broccoli florets with other leafy greens, or broccolini)
- 8 ounces fresh wide rice noodles or use equivalent dried rice noodles, cooked and drained then tossed in a bowl with oil to keep moist
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat half of the canola oil in a large wok or stir fry pan to very high heat for 1 minute, just until it starts to begin to smoke. High heat is important for this stir fry. Add the chicken and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring rapidly.
- Add the remaining oil and push the chicken and garlic to one side. Add the eggs to the other and lightly scramble them, cooking and stirring about 30 seconds, until they just set.
- Add the broccoli and cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes, or until the broccoli is cooked to your liking.
- Push everything to one side and add the fresh or prepared rice noodles to the other side (add more oil if needed). Cook without stirring for 1 minute to allow them to sear in the pan.
- Add the pad see ewe sauce and gently stir fry for 3 minutes, or until the noodles absorb the sauce and begin to crisp up and the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in ground white pepper and serve.
Notes
- If you prefer softer broccoli, add it when you add the chicken, or par cook it before stir frying.
- High Heat is important for proper caramelization. Cook your chicken, vegetables, and noodles in batches if needed, then combine everything at the end. This works great for smaller woks/pans, as most restaurants have much larger woks.
