Ingredients

1 lb fresh wide rice noodles (or dried, soaked), separated
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
8 oz Chinese broccoli (or broccolini), cut in 2-in pieces
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp regular soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp white pepper

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp regular soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
2

If using dried rice noodles, soak in warm water for 30 minutes until pliable, then drain. If using fresh noodles, gently separate the strands.
3

Heat a wok or large skillet over the highest heat possible until it starts to smoke. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
4

Add 4 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 lb thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Push the chicken to the side.
5

Crack 2 large eggs into the center of the pan and scramble until just set, about 30 seconds, then mix into the chicken.
6

Add 8 oz cut in 2-in pieces Chinese broccoli (or broccolini) and stir-fry for 1 minute until bright green.
7

Add 1 lb separated fresh wide rice noodles (or dried, soaked) and pour the sauce over everything. Toss vigorously for 2-3 minutes, letting the noodles char against the hot pan.
8

Season with 1/2 tsp white pepper, toss once more, and serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Pad See Ew gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp regular soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Pad See Ew keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Pad See Ew?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
