In today's video we are taking a trip to Thailand and making one of the best rice noodle dishes of all time, Pad See Ew. Better yet, this recipe does not require a wok.
INGREDIENTS (1-2 Servings):
- 100 grams of XL rice noodles
- 6oz of chicken breast
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 to 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 carrot
- 56 grams of baby broccoli
- 30 grams of a neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1.5 parts of dark soy sauce (about 30 grams)
- 1 part of light soy (20 grams)
- 1 part of hoisin sauce (20 grams)
- 1 part of white sugar (20 grams)
- .5 part of vinegar (10 grams)
- 5 grams or 1/2 tsp of kosher salt
- Boiling water (enough to submerge the noodles)
- Ice water (enough to submerge and cool the noodles)
METHOD:
For the Pad See Ew Sauce
- In a squeeze bottle, add in the dark soy sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and vinegar
- Shake the bottle to combine all the flavors and set aside (the sauce can be used up to 3-6 months)
For the Chicken:
- Next, on a cutting board designated for meat (add a wet cloth to the bottom of the board to stabilize)
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel
- Butterfly the chicken breast by setting one hand on top of the breast and gliding your knife through the middle of the breast
- Set aside one of the butterfly breasts
- With a sharp knife, slice the chicken breasts into thin pieces (this way the chicken will cook faster in the pan)
- Transfer the chicken to a bowl and add 5 grams of 1/2 a teaspoon of kosher salt to the chicken
- Mix thoroughly and set aside
For the Rice Noodles:
- Weigh out 100 grams of the rice noodles (this is roughly two servings) of the rice noodles into a bowl
- Submerge the noodles in boiling water and soak for 15 minutes
- Every two minutes move the noodles around to stop them from sticking together
- After 15 minutes drain the water and immediately soak the noodles in cold water to stop cooking the noodles
- Separate any other noodles that are stuck together
- Drain the water again and set the noodles aside
For the Vegetables:
- Peel and mince the 1-2 cloves of garlic
- Wash and cut the baby broccoli into small pieces
- Wash and peel the carrots
- Slice the carrots into thin squares and julienne into thin strips
PREPARATION:
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat and add 15 grams of neutral oil
- Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the sliced chicken breasts and fry on each side for 1-2 minutes till golden brown
- Remove the chicken and set aside on a sheet tray
- Add 10 more grams of oil and add in the minced garlic and sautee for 1-2 minutes
- Add in the baby broccoli and carrots and stir fry till the broccoli and carrots are tender and bright (1-2 minutes)
- Remove the vegetables and set aside
- Add in the rice noodles and begin to brown them
- For the sauce, squirt the out edges of the pan with the sauce to cook the sauce (add as much as desired)
- Cook the noodles for 3-4 minutes till they have a dark brown color
- Add back in the chicken and vegetables
- Add and scramble one egg
- Flip and combine all the ingredients (adjust sauce to preference)
- Turn off the heat and remove the Pad See Ew from the pan
- Optional: use a butane torch to char the pad see ew
- Enjoy!
