Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pad See Ew

In a large bowl, combine sliced skinless boneless chicken thighs with 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce. Toss to coat the chicken evenly, then let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Whisk together the remaining oyster sauce, regular and dark soy sauces, white sugar, white vinegar, and water in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil, followed by minced garlic and chopped Chinese broccoli. Stir-fry for 30-60 seconds.
Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the pan and add a bit more oil to the empty side. Pour in the beaten large eggs, scrambling gently for about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the remaining tablespoon of oil, followed by the fresh wide rice noodles and the prepared sauce. Toss everything together, then cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Fold the cooked chicken back into the pan and mix everything thoroughly. Let the Pad See Ew rest for another 30-60 seconds without stirring.
