Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a special meal, this pad see ew captures the essence of Thai street food: tender beef, chewy noodles and a rich, sweet-and-salty sauce. The bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) helps to keep the meat tender and really is a game changer for beef stir‑fries in general.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Combine half of the soy sauce and the bicarb soda in a bowl. Add the sliced steak, mix and leave to marinate in the fridge for as long as you can.
Step 2
Cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions (if using dried). Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 3
While the noodles are cooking, make the sauce by mixing the remaining soy, oyster sauce, white vinegar and soft brown sugar in a bowl. Add half the sauce to the cooled noodles and mix to coat.
Step 4
In a large frying pan or wok, heat a little garlic oil over medium high heat and fry the beef slices for 1 minute on each side. Don’t move them around too much in the pan; you want to get a nice char on them. Fry until the meat is almost cooked through, then remove from the pan.
Step 5
Add a litle more garlic oil oil to the pan and cook the broccoli for 4–5 minutes until it begins to soften, then push it to one side and crack in the egg. Scramble the egg and mix it with the broccolini, then remove from the pan.
Step 6
Add the rice noodles to the pan, but don’t stir immediately. Allow
the noodles to sit in the hot pan for 1 minute to get a bit of colour on them,
then return the beef, broccolini, egg and remaining sauce to the pan. Toss
briefly to combine, then serve.
