Preparation
Step 1
Cook the protein
Step 2
Make this crispy tofu recipe, set it aside, or see notes for chicken or shrimp.
Step 3
Prep the noodles
Step 4
Cut the wide sheet of fresh rice noodles into smaller 2×4 inches pieces. If the noodles have hardened, microwave for 2 minutes until soft, then carefully separate the pieces into thin small pieces as shown below. If using dry rice noodles, prepare according to package directions.
Step 5
Prep the Chinese Broccoli
Step 6
. Cut the stems of the Chinese broccoli, lengthwise into long, thin 2-3 inches pieces, and set aside. Leave the leafy parts about 4 inches long as they wilt quite a bit during the stir fry.
Step 7
Make stir-fry sauce
Step 8
whisk the sauces, vinegar, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl. Set aside until ready.
Step 9
Stir fry
Step 10
Place everything by the stove. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Once hot, add garlic and cook until brown, 20-30 seconds. Add the eggs and scramble lightly for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice noodles and lightly stir them in. Let it cook for 2 minutes, and don’t touch, letting them crisp a bit. Add only the stem parts of the Chinese broccoli, stir and cook for 2 minutes. Be careful not to break the soft noodles. Add the crispy tofu (or cooked shrimp or cooked chicken) and the leafy parts of the Chinese broccoli, and carefully stir into the noodles. Cook for 2 more minutes. (Add 1-2 tablespoons water to the wok if the noodles are sticking too much.)
Step 11
Pour in the stir-fry sauce, mix everything gently, and cook for 1 more minute. Do not overstep the Pad See Ew, as the noodles will break apart easily. Taste and adjust the seasoning here with more fish sauce, soy sauce, or sugar. Turn the heat off and serve warm.
