Spicy Pad See Ew
Pad See Ew is probably the most popular Thai noodle dish next to Pad Thai, and for good reason. This is the most flavorful, chewy bowl of noodles, & it’s surprisingly very easy to make. Pad See Ew means “stir fried soy sauce noodles” in Thai, & it’s one of my all-time favorite comfort meals. However, restaurants never seem to add enough kick to it, so today I bring to you my Spicy Pad See Ew—same restaurant flavor we all know & love but with a little kick to make it the best you’ve ever had. You’ve got to make this for your friends & family…they’ll be floored, and it will be gone in minutes—just speaking from experience. 😊
Ingredients:
Beef Marinade:
-½ lb thinly sliced beef
-1 tsp soy sauce
-1 tsp oyster sauce
-1 tbsp corn starch
Sauce:
-2 tbsps soy sauce
-1.5 tbsps dark soy sauce
-2 tbsps oyster sauce
-1 tbsp shaoxing wine
-½ tsp chicken bouillon
-½ tsp white pepper
-2 tbsps palm sugar
Other Ingredients:
-1 lb fresh rice noodles
-4 cloves minced garlic
-2 crushed Thai chili peppers
-6 Chinese broccoli (gai lan)
-2 eggs
-neutral oil
Steps:
Marinate your beef in the marinade ingredients.
Combine your sauce ingredients.
Separate your gai lan leaves and stems, and cut the stems into thin slices.
On a hot, oiled wok, grill your beef until 80% cooked. Set aside.
Add more oil to the wok, and sauté the garlic, crushed Thai chili peppers, and gai lan stems for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add in the gai lan leaves, and cook them until wilted. Push everything to the side, & scramble in 2 eggs. Then combine everything together. Remove this mixture from the wok, and set it aside.
Add more oil to the pan along with fresh rice noodles. Pour the sauce over the noodles, and sauté until the noodles have absorbed the sauce. Add the grilled beef and broccoli mixture back in, and mix everything together. Enjoy!
“My favorite part of this recipe is how authentic it is. You don’t need to fly all the way over to Thailand or even drive to a restaurant to create this masterpiece! I hope you can enjoy a cozy night in and make this delicious Spicy Pad See Ew for your friends, family, or just yourself! :) Forget takeout—you’ll never want to go back to it after trying this!”
