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.

Steps:

• This recipe should take about 10 minutes to make. Put oil, garlic on medium heat and saute for a few seconds. Soak the meat for a few minutes in the white soy sauce, salt and pepper. Remove meat from vinegar and dredge in cornstarch. Then add meat and broccoli to the saute pan and saute for 2 minutes. Add noodles and keep on medium heat until they become soft, 2 minutes. Clear a spot in the middle of the pan about the size of a pancake, add 1 teaspoon oil and fry the egg for 15 seconds. Then mix well with the rest of the ingredients in the pan. Add dark soy, oyster sauce, sugar, fish sauce, and vinegar. Then sprinkle with black pepper and MSG, if desired.

Steps:

• Place sliced chiles in a small bowl and cover with 2 tablespoons vinegar.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; remove from heat. Stir in noodles; let soak until softened (but still undercooked), 2 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water until cool. Crack eggs into a bowl. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, stir together sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, and remaining 4 teaspoons vinegar.
• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over high until very hot, about 2 minutes (a sprinkle of water should evaporate immediately). Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat sides and bottom. Add steak, spreading into a single layer. Let sear (do not stir) until golden on bottom, about 1 minute. Toss and turn occasionally until golden on all sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
• Reheat skillet over high. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and swirl to coat sides and bottom. Add eggs and immediately scramble for 20 seconds. Add Broccolini and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 1 minute. Add drained noodles, seared steak and accumulated juices, and soy sauce mixture. Toss to coat. Cook 4 minutes, stirring every minute and allowing the sauce to sit and caramelize in between stirring. Serve with pickled chiles.

• Soak the noodles in warm water for about 5 minutes, then drain and seperate with your fingers.
• Heat wok, add a little oil and stir fry the marinaded beef until it just begins to cook (as the beef should be cut very thinly, this should not take long).

Steps:

• Slice about 8 ounces of beef paper thin (you might persuade your butcher to put it through the bacon slicer) and marinade the beef in the marinade for about an hour.
• Cook the noodles until tender, in plain water, then put in cold water to halt the cooking process.
• Heat a wok and a little oil to stir fry the marinaded beef until it just begins to cook (because it is cut very thin, this is quite quick so be careful not to overcook).
• Add the noodles and the remaining ingredients, and stir until blended and heated through.
• Taste the sauce for balance of flavors (it should be just on the sweet side with a salty tang).
