Pad See Ew Noodles Instructions:
Prepare rice noodles (soak or loosen fresh noodles).
Mix soy sauce, dark soy, oyster sauce, sugar, vinegar, and water in a bowl.
Heat oil in a wok and cook your protein until done; push aside.
Crack in the egg and scramble lightly.
Add onions and Chinese broccoli; stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.
Add noodles and pour the sauce over.
Toss on high heat until noodles absorb sauce and get slightly charred.
Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.
Recipe Notes :
Cook the noodles on high heat to achieve the signature smoky “wok hei” flavor.
Avoid over-soaking dried noodles as they can turn mushy or break.
Choose your protein based on preference—beef and tofu give the most authentic texture.
Replace Chinese broccoli with bok choy, cabbage, or regular broccoli if needed.
Add a splash of dark soy at the end for deeper color and richer flavor.
