You would possibly have tried and been disappointed through special recipes within the past. It all comes down to the sauce. You should get the sauce right!

I can’t count number the place I originally got the recipe from. Probably from David Thompson, the noted Australian chef who has dedicated his life to studying the art of Thai cooking.

Noodles for Pad See Ew
Pad See Ew is traditionally made with Sen Yai, which are wide, thin contemporary rice noodles that aren't simply accessible. Even most Asian shops in Sydney don't promote them – you typically must pass to a Thai grocery store.

So it's perfectly acceptable, and simply as delicious, to make them with any broad flat rice noodles. I use dried rice noodles labelled as “Pad Thai” Rice Noodles (pictured below) simply due to the fact they're the widest accessible on the supermarket.

Once rehydrated, they’re essentially Sen Yai Noodles – simply now not fairly as wide.

CHINESE BROCCOLI
This is a key real factor in Pad See Ew. Otherwise recognized as Gai Lan or Kai lan, it’s leafy and appears fairly special to broccoli, but you’ll discover a similarity within the feel of the stems (hence the name).

If you can’t discover it, simply sub with special Asian greens, or a mix of broccoli or broccolini + spinach.

EGG AND CHICKEN
Feel unfastened to make use of special proteins within the event you wish. But hen is through far in all probability one of the foremost popular.

How to make Thai Stir Fried Noodles
Usually whilst making stir fried noodles, we toss everything collectively in a single big pan or a wok.

But for Pad See Ew made at home, I do issues differently to greatest replicate a cafe flavour and minimise noodle breakage:

Cook hen and vegetables first, then remove
Add noodles and sauce, toss to caramelise (just 15 seconds), then upload hen and vegetables again in
Reason: A signature flavour in Pad See Ew is the caramelisation of the noodles. Restaurants and highway proprietors gain this with tremendous powered gasoline stoves with fiery warmth that you’ll through no ability discover in a residence kitchen.  The purely approach to replicate that caramelisation on the noodles on a residence kitchen range is to declutter the wok and prepare dinner the noodles separately – the noodles will caramelise in 15 seconds.

The special function is that rice noodles spoil within the event you toss them too much. Doing the two-stage toss makes it a lot simpler and sooner to disperse the sauce and deliver the Pad See Ew together.

Trust me in this point. I’ve made a LOT of Pad See Ew at residence in my time, and the two-stage toss it the simplest and most high quality technique!

COOKING EGGS – THE THAI WAY!
Also worth of discover – you’ll love the method the egg is cooked in Pad See Ew! Using a standard Thai technique, the special foods within the wok/skillet are driven to the aspect to make room to scramble the egg, then combined up with everything else.

As with all stir fries, as soon as you leap cooking, it strikes very fast! So have everything keen and able to throw into the wok simply due to the fact there’s now not time to be scrambling round the kitchen!

If you desire so as to feature a contemporary side, attempt this Asian Slaw – it’s a huge all rounder that is going with all Asian foods. – Nagi x
