Beef Chicken Noodle Others Pork

Phad See Ew (Thai Stir-fried Rice Noodles in Soy Sauce)

Yum
Some of you may know that the husband and I just went on a short getaway to Phuket, Thailand. This time, it was a mini honeymoon without the kids, and I wanted to buy the husband a well-deserved birthday trip at the same time. Every time I think of Thailand, it reminds me of value for money Spas, cheap shopping, cheap seafood, beautiful beaches, and of course DELICIOUS street food!

It is hard to achieve the lovely wok taste “Wok Hei” (the slightly charred taste) when trying to recreate stir-fried street food, simply because it is quite impossible to have that kind of high heat/fire from our home gas stove, and not to mention that very very well seasoned wok that the street vendors uses. But overall, I was happy with how this dish turned out. I would not recommend frying more than 2 portions at one go.

Actually, I cooked my Phad See-Ew one portion at a time to ensure that I had enough space to stir-fry the noodles in my wok and that they are are nicely coated with the sauce. Traditionally, Phad See-Ew is made using the thick flat rice noodle (hor fun) but in order to get your hands on that, you need to go to the wet market super early, or they get sold out fast. An alternative is to use the must easily available kway teow, which is the thinner version of hor fun. It doesn’t take long to prep and cook this meal, great for busy weekends/lunches. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. 🙂
