Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken Marinade
- 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oil (vegetable or sesame oil)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- For the Pad See Ew
- 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- 1 pound chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
- 2 cups vegetables (e.g., broccoli or bell peppers)
- 2 large eggs (scrambled)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of regular soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oil, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch until well combined. This marinade will provide rich flavor for your Pad See Ew.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add your chopped chicken thighs to the marinade and stir well to ensure each piece is coated evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature for maximum flavor absorption.
- Cook the Noodles: While the chicken marinates, cook wide rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, keeping them a little chewy to soak up all that delicious marinade when cooked.
- Stir-Fry the Chicken: In a hot pan or wok over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and toss in the marinated chicken. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
- Add Vegetables: Incorporate your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli or bell peppers, into the pan, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are just tender.
- Combine Everything: Finally, add the cooked wide rice noodles to the pan, stirring everything together, and cook for another 2 minutes to ensure the noodles are well-coated with the marinade and heated through.
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish your homemade Pad See Ew with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
- Store any leftover Pad See Ew in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- If freezing, let the Pad See Ew cool completely before portioning into freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
- When reheating, add a little soy sauce or broth to retain moisture and flavor.
- Allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes is essential for infusing rich flavors into your Pad See Ew.
- Always opt for wide rice noodles for that authentic chewy texture; they soak up the marinade beautifully.
- Stir-fry the chicken over high heat to achieve an enticing smokey flavor.
