PAD SE EEW
Thai-style rice noodle dish with chicken and a bit of a kick. It is a lot easier to make this if you cook it in the pan in two batches instead of one. That way you can customize it the way each person likes it (more chicken, more broccoli, no egg).

Steps:
- Stir the dark soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and chile-garlic sauce together in a small saucepan and place over medium-how heat; simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves into the sauce, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the garlic and chicken in the hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the broccoli into the chicken mixture; cook and stir until the broccoli is thoroughly heated. Add the noodles and stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated; continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Push the chicken mixture to the side of the skillet with a spatula. Add the egg to the skillet in the vacated space. Scramble the egg, cooking it through. Once egg is cooked, mix ingredients back in and heat thoroughly. Garnish with the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes to serve.

Steps:
- Comb through the fresh wide rice noodles, making sure any clumps are separated.
- Peel then mince 3 cloves of garlic, slice the chicken into small bite sized pieces, and slice the Chinese broccoli into 1.5 centimeter strips.
- Heat the wok (or frying pan) on a medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Wait until the oil is hot, and then fry the garlic for about 10 seconds or so, making sure it sizzles in the hot oil.
- Add the chopped chicken to the wok and stir fry for it about a minute until the chicken is nearly all the way white in color and cooked pretty well though and through.
- Now, turn down your heat (or if you're using an electric stove you can even move your pan off the burner for a moment).
- Toss in the rice noodles, the Chinese broccoli, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and a ½ teaspoon of sugar.
- Still on low heat, start to fold the noodles gently by picking them up with the spatula from the bottom, and folding them over (If you stir fry too hard, the stickiness from the noodles can make them turn into a big noodle blob - believe me, I've done this too many times and it's not pretty!).
- Cook the noodles for about 1 -2 minutes. If it gets a little dry, you can drizzle in a tiny bit of oil.
- After the noodles are well mixed, scoot the noodles to one side of the wok, and proceed to crack an egg into the empty side.
- Now it's time to crank up the heat on your stove - for the final step we want a little char on the noodles and egg for great flavor.
- Scramble the egg, and then fold the noodles onto the egg, sort of when it's half cooked. Let the heat sear the egg for a few seconds and then start folding the noodles and egg together. With a hot flaming fire, you should get a little char to both the noodles and the egg.
- Fry for about 30 more seconds, making sure to be gentle with the noodles, and then turn off the heat and dish it out.
- Sprinkle a little freshly ground pepper on the top of the noodles. You can also eat pad see ew with a bit of chili flakes on top and some vinegar for taste.

- While the noodles are soaking, heat the oil in a wok over a high heat, add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds, then add the chicken and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until nearly cooked. Add the broccolini and a splash of water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Push the chicken and broccolini to the side of the wok and crack in the egg; scramble until just set, then mix with the chicken and broccoli. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Drain the noodles and add to the wok with the sauce and toss together to coat and heat through. Return the chicken and broccoli to the pan and mix together, then serve immediately.
PAD SIEU (THAI RICE NOODLES)
After watching a version of this recipe prepared on "Calling All Cooks" on the Food Network by a lady named Poolie who was from Thailand, I immediately wanted to give it a try. I had to watch the episode several times to get the recipe correct - as the version they provided was not exactly as described by Poolie while she cooked. Poolie seasoned everything to taste, so please take the measurements very loosely and taste & season as you prefer. She did not add anything spicy to this dish. The Thai sweet soy sauce is very dark and thick and sweet - almost syrupy. You would need to look in an Asian foods store to find it. I used seasoned rice wine vinegar instead of the Thai white vinegar, which I was unable to locate. The wide rice noodles resemble slightly wider fettuccine or egg noodles.
