Now you don't have to go out for great Pad See Ew. Easily and quickly make your own mouthwatering Thai Stir Fry Noodles at home. Healthier than restaurants and 200% delicious.
1largeraw chicken breast, boneless/skinless, sliced into bite-size pieces and tossed with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper
2largeeggs
1bunchspinach leaves, or Chinese broccoli leaves
Optional: Sriracha for serving, if you like some heat!
Instructions
In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk to combine well. Set aside.
Soak or prepare rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large wok, add oil over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add garlic and Stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 sec. Take care that garlic doesn't burn.
Add seasoned/sliced chicken and stir well, about 1 minute. Push browned chicken to edges of wok, leaving a center well. There should still be plenty of oil in the center; add 1-2 TB oil if it's dry.
Crack eggs one at a time into center well. Stir eggs in center until fully scrambled. Add drained rice noodles to the mixture. Add the sauce evenly over noodle mixture.
Using long chopsticks or tongs, very gently toss noodle mixture so it's fully coated in sauce. Add spinach leaves and stir just to wilt. Remove from heat immediately, and serve while hot. Serve with Sriracha on the side, if desired.
Notes
If you need it to be gluten-free, use Tamari sauce instead of soy sauces (note that Tamari sauce has a lighter flavor profile than dark soy sauce.)
If you'd like more of a browned or "burnt" edge to your noodles: remove chicken/egg mixture from wok after cooking them. Heat 1/4 cup oil in pan until it's smoking, and add in the noodles with sauce. Stir a few times to coat noodles, and let noodles brown in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes until edges are a bit burnt/caramelized. Then add back chicken/egg mixture and spinach to warm through.
This dish is best eaten right after it's cooked. Generally speaking, dishes like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew made with rice noodles are best when fresh.
As this recipe is intended for an easy homemade Pad See Ew, the ingredients chosen are available at major grocery stores or online. You can also use 28 oz fresh extra-wide rice noodles found at Asian grocery stores, which can be added directly to the stir fry until cooked through.
