• 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.

Steps:

• Prepare the noodles first by following the instructions on the package. I usually place them in a bowl and add enough cold water to cover them and let them rest for 1 hour or until noodles are pliable but not soft. Drain well in a colander. They will change color from translucent to white.
• In a small bowl toss the chicken with the tsp of peanut oil and soy sauce together, making sure the chicken is coated in the oil and soy sauce. This will ensure the chicken separates nicely when cooking and seasons it a bit.
• Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl and set aside.
• Start by adding 2 tbsp of the peanut oil to the wok and heat it really well. Add the chicken and cook just until done, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set side. Wipe away any excess liquid that's left in the wok with paper towels.
• Add the remaining 1 to 2 tbsp of peanut oil to the wok, then immediately add the minced garlic before the oil gets too hot. This will prevent the garlic from burning as soon as it hits the wok. Saute the garlic for about 30 seconds just until the garlic starts to get aromatic and turns golden.
• Add the eggs, break the egg yolks then let it sit for about 15 seconds before starting to scramble them briefly.
• Add the broccoli and toss to coat with the oil and the egg. Cook briefly for about 15 seconds.
• Add the prepared noodles to the wok, the prepared sauce and the brown sugar to the pan. Turn the heat up and start tossing the noodles to coat evenly in the sauce. Spread the noodles over the entire surface of the pan, and let them sit without stirring or tossing for about 30 seconds. This will ensure you get some nice charred marks on the noodles, which will give them a nice toasty flavor. Flip the noodles and again let them sit cook for another 30 seconds to char the other side. Toss the chicken back in.
• Remove from wok and serve with immediately. Sprinkle with some red Thai chiles if preferred.

PAD SEE EW RECIPE (ผัดซีอิ๊ว)

Steps:

• Comb through the fresh wide rice noodles, making sure any clumps are separated.
• Peel then mince 3 cloves of garlic, slice the chicken into small bite sized pieces, and slice the Chinese broccoli into 1.5 centimeter strips.
• Heat the wok (or frying pan) on a medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Wait until the oil is hot, and then fry the garlic for about 10 seconds or so, making sure it sizzles in the hot oil.
• Add the chopped chicken to the wok and stir fry for it about a minute until the chicken is nearly all the way white in color and cooked pretty well though and through.
• Now, turn down your heat (or if you're using an electric stove you can even move your pan off the burner for a moment).
• Toss in the rice noodles, the Chinese broccoli, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and a ½ teaspoon of sugar.
• Still on low heat, start to fold the noodles gently by picking them up with the spatula from the bottom, and folding them over (If you stir fry too hard, the stickiness from the noodles can make them turn into a big noodle blob - believe me, I've done this too many times and it's not pretty!).
• Cook the noodles for about 1 -2 minutes. If it gets a little dry, you can drizzle in a tiny bit of oil.
• After the noodles are well mixed, scoot the noodles to one side of the wok, and proceed to crack an egg into the empty side.
• Now it's time to crank up the heat on your stove - for the final step we want a little char on the noodles and egg for great flavor.
• Scramble the egg, and then fold the noodles onto the egg, sort of when it's half cooked. Let the heat sear the egg for a few seconds and then start folding the noodles and egg together. With a hot flaming fire, you should get a little char to both the noodles and the egg.
• Fry for about 30 more seconds, making sure to be gentle with the noodles, and then turn off the heat and dish it out.
• Sprinkle a little freshly ground pepper on the top of the noodles. You can also eat pad see ew with a bit of chili flakes on top and some vinegar for taste.
