Pad See Ew (Thai Stir Fried Noodles)
First things first—let’s admire this beauty!
Now that we’ve whetted our appetite, let’s roll up our sleeves and gather what you’ll need to create this mouthwatering masterpiece. Here’s what’s on the shopping list:
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 pound chicken or beef, thinly sliced (optional for meat lovers!)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (because we fancy)
Instructions:
- First, cook those noodles according to package instructions. Once they’re done, give them a good rinse under cold water and set them aside. Nobody likes sticky noodles unless they’re having a dance party!
- Heat some vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and let it sizzle. You want it to smell divine, not burnt—so keep an eye on it!
- Once the kitchen is filled with garlic goodness, add in the sliced meat (if you’re using any) and cook for a few minutes until it’s nice and browned. If you’re a vegetarian, just pop those veggies in next!
- Pour in those beaten eggs and scramble them with the meat or veggies for a couple of minutes. It’s like a party in the pan!
- Time to put those noodles back in! Toss everything together, adding soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper to taste. Stir until the noodles are well-coated and heated through. You want every noodle to be dressed like a star!
- Finally, toss in the broccoli and carrots, and give it a nice stir. Cook for an additional minute just to soften those veggies a tad. Voila!
- Ready to serve? Plate it up, garnish with fresh cilantro, and watch it disappear faster than you can say “Pad See Ew!”
Now, grab your chopsticks and dig into this Thai delight. Your new favorite comfort food has officially arrived!
