Pad See Ew with Broccoli

Ingredients

• 450g (1 lb) wide rice noodles, fresh or dried
• 300g (2 cups) broccoli, cut into small florets
• 200g (7 oz) boneless chicken breast or tofu, sliced thinly
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 60ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce
• 30ml (2 tbsp) oyster sauce
• 15ml (1 tbsp) fish sauce (optional)
• 15g (1 tbsp) sugar
• 5g (1 tsp) ground white pepper
• 15ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
• Slices of lime, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation of Ingredients
If using dried rice noodles, cook them according to the package instructions, typically boiling in water for about 6-8 minutes until they are tender but not mushy. Rinse under cold water and set aside. If using fresh noodles, gently separate them by hand.

Step 2: Blanching the Broccoli
In the same pot of boiling water, blanch the broccoli florets for about 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and place in a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Cooking the Meat
In a wok or large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken or tofu and stir-fry until cooked through and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 4: Stir-frying the Garlic and Egg
In the same wok, add more oil if necessary. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Push to one side and pour in the beaten eggs. Let them sit for 30 seconds and then scramble them together with the garlic.

Step 5: Combining Ingredients
Return the chicken or tofu to the wok. Add the cooked noodles, broccoli, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce (if using), sugar, and white pepper. Stir-fry everything together over high heat, tossing continuously until everything is well coated and heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Serving
Transfer the Pad See Ew to serving plates. Garnish with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Serve immediately, and enjoy the symphony of flavors!
