Pad Se-Ew Beef with Broccoli

Pad See Ew is one of Thailand's most popular street foods. This recipe features beef and broccoli stir-fried noodle dish seasoned with soy sauce mixture.


You will need:

• 8 oz. dried flat rice noodle, or 1 lb. fresh flat rice noodle


• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped finely


• 1 cup thinly slice beef (other choices: pork, chicken, shrimp, or extra-firm tofu)


• 2 cup broccoli florets (unless you can find Chinese broccoli)


• 2 eggs


• 1 cup 1 1/2" cut green onion


• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil


• 2 Tbsp dark sweet soy sauce


• 2 Tbsp light soy sauce


• 2 Tbsp oyster sauce


• 1 Tbsp sugar


• Ground white pepper (black pepper works as well)


• Red chili pepper flakes (optional)
  

Directions:

• Soak dried rice noodle in hot water, until soft. Drain and set aside.


• Blanch broccoli florets in boiling water and shock with cold water. Set aside.


• Mix together dark sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes.


• Heat wok on medium high heat and add vegetable oil.


• Add chopped garlic, quickly stir, and add beef. Stir to cook.


• Add noodle, and 1/4 cup of water to help cook the noodle. Once the noodle is cooked and soft (add more water if needed, little at a time), mix in the prepared soy sauce mixture, and broccoli florets.


• Stir to mix together all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning sauces if needed. Then push to side of wok to make room.


• Crack the eggs into wok, and scramble until almost cooked. Then fold in the noodle, and add green onions and pepper.


• Stir to mix well, and turn the heat off.
  

Keep in mind that you can always adjust the seasoning to your preference while cooking.

Enjoy!
