PAD SEE EW - THAI STIR FRIED NOODLES



Pad See Ew - Thai Stir Fried Noodles image

Recipe video above. Pad See Ew (which means Stir Fried Soy Sauce noodles) is one of the most popular Thai street foods. Traditionally made with Sen Yai which are wide, thin rice noodles which are not that easy to come by. So use dried rice noodles instead - I've eaten enough Pad See Ew at Thai restaurants to assure you that there is no compromise on flavour!KEY TIP FOR SUCCESS: Cook the chicken separately from the noodles. Home stoves are no match for the fierce heat of restaurant and street vendor burners. You have to cook separately to get caramelisation on the noodles which is key for authentic flavour. If you don't, the noodles will just stew and your dish will lack flavour!

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 12

200g / 7 oz dried wide rice stick noodles (, or 15 oz / 450g fresh wide flat rice noodles (Sen Yai) (Note 1))
2 tbsp dark soy sauce ((Note 2))
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp soy sauce ((all purpose or light, Note 3))
2 tsp white vinegar ((plain white vinegar))
2 tsp sugar ((any type))
2 tbsp water
3 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil (, separated)
2 cloves garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 cup / 150g / 5oz chicken thighs ((boneless, skinless), sliced (Note 4))
1 large egg
4 stems Chinese broccoli ((Note 5))

Steps:

  • Chinese Broccoli - trim ends, cut into 7.5cm/3" pieces. Separate leaves from stems. Cut thick stems in half vertically so they're no wider than 0.8cm / 0.3" thick.
  • Noodles - Prepare according to packet directions and drain. Time it so they're cooked just before using - do not leave cooked rice noodles lying around, they break in the wok.
  • Sauce - Mix ingredients until sugar dissolves.
  • Heat oil: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a very large heavy based skillet or wok over high heat.
  • Cook garlic and chicken: Add garlic, cook 15 seconds. Add chicken, cook until it mostly changes from pink to white.
  • Chinese broccoli STEMS: Add Chinese broccoli stems, cook until chicken is almost cooked through.
  • Chinese broccoli LEAVES: Add Chinese broccoli leaves, cook until just wilted.
  • Scramble egg: Push everything to one side, crack egg in and scramble.
  • REMOVE chicken from wok: Remove everything in the wok onto a plate (scrape wok clean).
  • Caramelise noodles: Return wok to stove, heat 2 tbsp oil over high heat until it starts smoking (HOT is key!). Add noodles and Sauce. Toss as few times as possible to disperse Sauce and make edges of noodles caramelise - about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Add chicken back in: Quickly add chicken and veg back in, and toss to disperse. Serve immediately!

SPICY THAI BASIL CHICKEN (PAD KRAPOW GAI)



Spicy Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai) image

My version of this classic Thai dish has spectacular taste even with regular basil instead of Thai or holy basil. The sauce actually acts like a glaze as the chicken mixture cooks over high heat. The recipe works best if you chop or grind your own chicken and have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or as needed
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, coarsely chopped
¼ cup sliced shallots
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced Thai chilies, Serrano, or other hot pepper
1 cup very thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
2 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Whisk chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl until well blended.
  • Heat large skillet over high heat. Drizzle in oil. Add chicken and stir fry until it loses its raw color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic, and sliced chilies. Continue cooking on high heat until some of the juices start to caramelize in the bottom of the pan, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Add about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until sauce begins to caramelize, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has deglazed the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until sauce glazes onto the meat, 1 or 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in basil. Cook and stir until basil is wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve with rice.
