My All Time Favorite Thai Dish...Pad See Ew


Pad-See-Ew is literally one of my favorite foods.  I had never really considered every trying to make it, but I found the recipe on Pinterest and decided to just go for it! It was one of the more complex and multi-step dishes I've made but it turned out fairly well.  But I think in the future I'll just stick to take out from my local favorite Little Thai

  • 4 oz chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 garlic glove, minced
  • vegetable oil
  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets, sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar and garlic clove.


2. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the chicken with 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and the baking soda.


3. Sautee chicken in skillet until done.

4. Bring large pot of water to boil.  Add the rice noodles and cook according to package directions.  When done, remove noodles with tongs and drain.  Toss with a tablespoons of oil so noodles don’t stick together.

5. Stir-fry broccoli in oil until it turns bright green and becomes tender.  Set aside.


6. Scramble eggs


7. When set, add the noodles.  Toss well to separate the strands, and then let them cook for a minute.



8. Drizzle on the soy sauce, toss well and then let cook undisturbed until the noodles start to brown about one minute.

9. Add the broccoli and chicken back to the pan.  Toss well.  When everything is warm, pour in sauce. Stir-fry until everything is coated.  Serve immediately.

If you don’t know how to use chopsticks you should probably learn because it’s an impressive skill.  Here is an instructional video on chopsticks sorry its 2:00 long, which seems excessive but it's what was available.
