Topic: Noodles
Pad see ew is a sweet noodle usually served in Thai restaurants. Basically, it is made with sweet soy sauce, garlic, broad rice noodles, chinese broccoli, egg, and some form of meat or chicken. I tried to make one yesterday for our Iftar but I did not able to find chinese broccoli so I used spinach instead of it.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. sugar
1 cup beef, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. light soy sauce
2 tbsp. dark soy sauce
1 tbsp. fish sauce
3 cloves garlic, chopped
250 g flat rice noodles(follow the package direction of cooking)
2 eggs
1 tbsp. vinegar
2 tbsp. cooking oil
some spinach, trimmed
ground chilli peppers (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix the beef and vinegar.
2. Heat a wok to high heat and then add oil. Drop in the chopped garlic and stir. Add the sliced beef. Stir to cook the beef. When the meat is somewhat cooked, add rice noodles. Stir, add light and dark soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar.
3. Stir to mix the seasonings into the noodles and beef. Open a spot in the middle of the pan, and drop the 2 eggs in. Scramble the eggs until it is almost all cooked (not watery any more). Fold in the noodles and mix them all.
4. Add the spinach, stems first, then the leaves. As soon as the spinach is cooked, turn off the heat.
5. Put on a serving plate and sprinkle ground chili peppers on top. Serve.
