Discover the Joy of Cooking Authentic Pad See Ew

Pad See Ew is a beloved Thai street food dish, known for its chewy rice noodles and delectable sweet-salty flavor. Here’s how to recreate this favorite in your kitchen!

### 🍜 Ingredients

**For the Sauce:**

- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon fish sauce

- 1 tablespoon Thai black soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain sauce

**For the Protein:**

- 1 cup bite-sized chicken breast (or pork, beef, tofu)

**For the Vegetables:**

- 1 cup Chinese broccoli (gai lan), sliced

- 2 eggs

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- Some water (if needed)

**For the Noodles:**

- Fresh wide rice noodles (sen yai) - homemade or store-bought

### 🥡 Preparation Steps

1. **Make the Sauce:**

Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, Thai black soy sauce, and Golden Mountain sauce in a bowl. Set aside.

2. **Prepare the Protein:**

In a bowl, mix the chicken with a splash of soy sauce, a touch of sugar for browning, and a little water to keep it juicy. Let it marinate while prep work continues.

3. **Chop the Vegetables:**

Start by removing tough stems from the Chinese broccoli. Thinly slice the stems diagonally and chop the leaves roughly.

4. **Prepare the Noodles:**

If using fresh noodles, separate them gently if they come in a block, and microwave on a plate for about 3-4 minutes, until soft. If using dried noodles, soak them according to package instructions.

### 🔥 Cooking

1. **Cook the Protein:**

Heat a well-seasoned carbon steel wok over high heat. Add the marinated chicken, spreading it out. Sear without disturbing for about a minute until browned. Toss to cook the other side and remove once fully cooked.

2. **Stir-fry the Dish:**

In the same wok, add a bit of oil and minced garlic. Stir until golden, then add the beaten eggs. Stir quickly and then add the vegetables. Toss everything together.

3. **Add the Noodles:**

Add the noodles and the previously prepared sauce. Mix thoroughly, ensuring no clumps of noodles remain.

4. **Achieve the Char:**

Spread the noodles out in the pan and allow them to toast on high heat for that signature smoky flavor. Flip and toast the other side as well.

5. **Final Touches:**

Return the cooked chicken to the wok, being cautious not to add any excess liquid from the meat bowl. Give one final toss and turn off the heat.

### 🧂 Serving Suggestions

For that authentic experience, serve Pad See Ew with ground white pepper and homemade chili vinegar on the side. The combination of sweet, salty, and spicy is simply irresistible. Enjoy this delightful dish, a true taste of Thailand!
