Enjoy authentic wide rice noodles Pad See Ew, stir-fried in a wok with vegetables, egg, and a rich soy sauce. A quick, delicious, and classic Thai cuisine recipe.
Noodle Preparation
If the wide rice noodles seem dry or stuck together, soak them for a few minutes in warm water until they soften. Drain them well before cooking.

In a well-heated wok or large pan, add a little oil and sauté the minced garlic for a few seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add your protein of choice (e.g., chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu) and sauté until almost fully cooked. Add the chopped broccoli and stir for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly softened, while still remaining crisp.
Scrambling the Eggs
Push the ingredients to the side of the wok, creating space in the center. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently until they set slightly. Then, incorporate them with the rest of the ingredients.
Adding Noodles & Sauce
Add the rice noodles and pour the sauce mixture over the top. Stir well so that everything is completely coated. Let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow for a slight “char” on the bottom – this provides the characteristic smoky flavor of Pad See Ew.
Final Touch & Serving
Taste and adjust the flavor with a little extra soy sauce or sugar if needed. Serve immediately, garnishing with white pepper, some sesame seeds, and fresh lime for a refreshing, aromatic touch.
