- Place the dry rice noodles in a bowl then 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 then cook the broccoli in it until cooked yet still firm; 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a frypan over medium heat; cook the garlic in the hot oil until fragrant; 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sliced steak; cover the frypan and cook until the meat is just turning from pink to grey; 5 to 7 minutes.
- Whisk the water and cornflour together in a bowl. Pour into the frypan along with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar.
- Add the rice noodles and broccoli then stir to mix evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer while you prepare the egg.
- Prepare a small frypan with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Cook the egg in the prepared frypan until cooked through and the yolk is solid.
- Add the cooked egg to the other frypan and stir to incorporate. Serve hot.

If you're reading this recipe and thinking "eh, I don't know. Sounds kinda weird..." Try it! I'd never had pad see ew before, and I was a little worried about the "ew" part. IT'S SO GOOD! Beef & broccoli meets pad thai! Fish sauce and oyster sauce aren't as nasty as they sound, and you can get them super cheap ($1/bottle) at an Asian grocer. I added rice vinegar and doubled the sauce (2 Tbsp rice vinegar, 6 Tbsp oyster sauce, 2 Tbsp fish sauce, 2 Tbsp sugar). Also added 2 eggs instead of 1. Used a whole good sized crown of broccoli. Used "round sandwich steak" which is already cut thin. No salt, just some black pepper. Try it, you'll like it! - 17 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Pad See Ew is one of my teenage daughter's favorite dishes, so I have set out to learn how to make it. I used this recipe as a jumping off point, following it mainly for the ingredient proportions. Instead of beef I used chicken, and gai lan instead of broccoli. I also found some fresh rice noodles at an Asian market (see photo). I used the sauce ingredients as listed, but added 1 T rice vinegar. Technique-wise I stir fried the broccoli and set it aside. Then I stir fried the chicken, added the noodles, then the sauce. Once they were heated through I added the beaten egg. When the egg was cooked I folded in the broccoli. It turned out well, and my daughter approved (she ate 2 servings!). - 06 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
