Notes

  • Dark soy sauce is darker, thicker and slightly sweet compared to regular soy sauce, from the addition of molasses. It not only adds a sweet, rich flavor to dishes but is also used to color a dish like fried rice or stir-fried noodles.
  • It can be found at some asian grocery stores (such as Chinese, Thai and some Korean), some specialty markets and online.
  • We use pork in our pad see ew, but it can easily be swapped out for thinly sliced beef (flank or sirloin both work great), thinly sliced chicken breast, large shrimp, or cubes of firm tofu, for a vegetarian option.
  • If you can't find Chinese broccoli you can substitute it with broccolini or bite sized broccoli florets.
  • If you aren't able to find dark soy sauce you can replace it with more regular soy sauce (and an extra pinch of sugar), but the pad see ew noodles won't darken as much.
  • Turning the heat to high when the noodles and sauce are added to the pan is important so the noodles can caramelize and get that classic chargrilled flavor.
  • It's also important to keep the pad see ew moving when the heat is turned up so nothing burns.
  • Although dry rice noodles are easier to find and work great in this recipe, if you're able to find fresh or fresh frozen, we highly recommend using them here. Fresh noodles will have a slightly better texture as well as absorb the sauce better.
