Pad See Ew with Chicken

Charred wide noodles, sweet soy, egg and broccoli.

25 min totalMakes 4 plates
High-proteinMethod in Pro

The flavour of pad see ew comes from char, so the pan needs to be very hot and the noodles need a moment to sit still and blister. Dark soy gives the deep colour and a gentle sweetness. Broccoli stands in for Chinese broccoli and holds up to the heat.

Tips

  • Soak dried noodles in warm water instead of boiling; they finish cooking in the pan and won't turn mushy.
  • Work in two batches if your skillet is under 12 inches.
