Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package wide rice noodles
- 1 cup bite size broccoli pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- ½ pound rib-eye steak, sliced thin
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Place the dry rice noodles in a bowl, cover with hot water, and let soak until white and soft but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil; cook the broccoli in the boiling water until cooked and still firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sliced steak; cover the skillet and cook until the meat is just turning from pink to grey, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk the water and cornstarch together in a bowl; pour into the skillet along with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Add the rice noodles and broccoli and stir to mix evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer while you prepare the egg.
- Prepare a small skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Cook the egg in the prepared skillet until cooked through and the yolk is solid. Add the cooked egg to the other skillet and stir to incorporate. Serve hot.

Reviews
I followed the directions for making the noodles—they were not done. I put the bowl with noodles and water for 5 minutes in the microwave—still tough. It ruined the dish.
This is definitely not Pad See Ew if you are looking for an authentic one. One of the main ingredients for Pad See Ew is the Sweet Dark Soy Sauce or Dark Soy Sauce which is the “See Ew” part in Thai. If you don’t use it it’s not Pad See Ew. Also the corn starch and water are never used in this dish either. They are used in Rad Na which is very similar to Pad See Ew except with gravy. I grew up with this dish! Most of the ingredients and directions in this dish are all wrong! They probably would still turn out good as a pan fried noodle dish but not Pad See Ew.
meh. not ‘ew’ but definitely meh. Rather bland. Have had some awful Thai food in N.America and have had some decent and down right good Thai food…if you are going to do a homemade version, we suggest reading a few other recipes and cobble something better than this recipe. Yes, the complaints about the excessive fish sauce are valuable. A word to the cook.
Good. I’ll make it again, I’ve made other versions this one is middle of the pack. One note: you beat/whisk the egg first. I’ve never seen a recipe where you cook an egg with the yoke until hard.
I loved this! The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 was I didn’t have fish sauce so I put in garlic chili sauce in it’s place. Also I didn’t add the cornstarch and water to thicken up the sauce. It didn’t need that step. Will definitely make again
Good base recipe, next time I’m doubling the sauce portion. Could have been a little more saucy. Added a shot of Chardonnay and a tea
I made some changes to the recipe. I didn’t have those thick noodles so I use stir fry noodles.I also added some rice vinegar as others did. To make it spicy, I added 1 tablespoon of chili garlic sauce and half a teaspoon of crushed red peppers and it was good. The sauce needs to be 1.5 of the given amounts. Delicious!
LOVE the recipe. I added more soy sauce but that’s about it
The recipe was far easier than I thought! I love being able to increase the amount of vegetables to our liking. I did what other reviewers suggested and omitted the cornstarch. It tasted just like the restaurant recipe.
Did not turn out well, was dissapointed
Pad See ew is one of my favorite Thai dishes. This recipe was right on point with these minor preferences: no salt added, and less sugar. OMGosh thanks for sharing this recipe.
I absolutely love this recipe! it is so delicious! I’ve tried a few things with this one though. Sometimes I marinate the meat before hand. I’ve used everything from chicken to pork to beef to shrimp and added whatever veggies i had on hand, such as carrots, cabbage, celery, broccoli, whatever we had. Results always came out good!
Easy and great meal!! I will definitely make it again 🙂
This is an Americanized version of a wonderful dish. There are important ingredients missing here and some extra steps that are not necessary. The water and cornstarch slurry is not needed. If you use brown sugar in place of white and do not use to much soy and other sauces a nice sauce will emerge in the end. Also no need to pre cook the broccoli, simply stir fry it the let it simmer in the sauce while meat cooks. Also no need for another extra dirty pan with cooking the egg, just push all ingredient aside while still stir frying and add egg too wok and quickly scramble in same pan. Also, where is the fresh cilantro to toss in at the end and the traditional thai chili sauce? A lot of extra work and missing ingredients.
Love this recipe!!! I also use the sauce ratio of 3 tablespoons oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons soy sauce & 1 tablespoon fish sauce for any vegetable stir fries I make. boyfriend loves it 🙂
This didn’t turn out exactly as I planned but the beef and the broccoli were delicious. I think the issue was the noodles I bought.
This turned out great! I made some changes based on what I had on hand and to lower the WW points value. I used 16oz of tofu fettuccine shirataki noodles, 4 cups chopped broccolini, extra garlic, 2 eggs, garlic chili paste and no vegetable oil. Didn’t have any thawed meat on hand, so we went meatless. Everything else stayed the same. Will definitely use some thin sliced beef and halve the sauce next time around. The few changes I made dropped the points down to 6 per serving – serves 2.
This recipe was very easy to follow and turned out really good. We changed the protein used from beef to chicken and things worked out just fine. We didn’t have the right noodles to use but we substituted the wide rice noodles with another type of rice noodles and it turned out great. Though we changed the type of protein and the type of noodles the recipe originally used, the final product did look like something that could be made in a restaurant. We had to make this recipe for a baby shower and it did its job. Many people liked the recipe and were very surprised we made it. This is a recipe I would for sure recommend to any one in the mood for a very delicious Thai dish.
A very good recipe, quick and easy to make. I made it with wide egg noodles that my husband picked up at Safeway (not the Asian kind, and it wasn’t the best). I also had red bell pepper and chicken breast on hand, so I used those instead of broccoli and beef I used only half of the recommended amount of oyster sause as another reviewer recommended but made 1.5X the total amount of sauce. I used 2 eggs but will use 4 next time. Even though I changed a lot, I still appreciate the recipe and I like that it is versatile! [For my sister, if you use egg noodles, you have to boil them like usual]
this was so good.. we meant to take a pic.. but couldn’t wait to eat it.. had angel hair pasta on hand so that’s what we used.. about 6 oz of it.. 2.5 cups of broccoli.. a 13 oz chicken breast cut up into 1 inch cubes in place of the steak.. didn’t have fish sauce so omitted it all together.. didn’t bother with the egg b/c we didn’t feel it needed anything else at that point including any added salt or pepper.. ty so much for the recipe.. ~~~UPDATE: ugh.. i am totally sad to say that when made with the fish sauce this came out pretty fishy tasting.. and i do like to cook with fish sauce! i ended up adding more sugar to make it more enjoyable and i am not one for sweet tasting food.. next time i’ll be sure to make it the way i did the first time
Easy to make and quite tasty. I’ll be making this again!
