Ingredients

8 oz wide rice noodles
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken, shrimp, or tofu (your choice)
2 eggs
2 cups broccoli or Chinese broccoli, chopped
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

Soak the Noodles: Begin by soaking the wide rice noodles in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
Prep the Pan: In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds.
Add Protein: Toss in your choice of proteins—chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Cook until they are just done, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, whisk the eggs and scramble them gently until set. Combine them with the cooked protein.
Noodles Enter the Scene: Add the soaked noodles to the pan along with the broccoli. Stir everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
Sauce It Up: Drizzle in the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and a generous sprinkle of black pepper. Stir-fry for another 5-6 minutes, allowing all the ingredients to marry while getting a little crisp on the noodles.
Ready to Serve: Push the mixture to the side, let it crisp a bit, then serve warm with extra toppings such as chili flakes or sliced green onions if desired.

Top Tips for Perfecting Tasty Pad See Ew Thai Noodles
