Pad See Ew with Pork and Chinese Broccoli

Steps

1. Step 1

   In a bowl, toss the pork with the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and sesame oil. Set aside to marinate while you prepare everything else.

   15 min

   • 1 lb pork loin
   • 1 tbsp soy sauce
   • 2 tsp cornstarch
   • 1 tsp granulated sugar
   • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2. Step 2

   Stir the chili vinegar together in a small bowl: vinegar, sliced chilies and a pinch of sugar. Set it on the table.

   2 min

   • 1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
   • 2 Thai chilies or 1 serrano chili
   • 1 pinch granulated sugar
3. Step 3

   Whisk the sauce together in another small bowl: oyster sauce, dark sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and water.

   3 min

   • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
   • 2 tbsp dark sweet soy sauce (kecap manis or Thai black soy sauce)
   • 1 tbsp soy sauce
   • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
   • 2 tsp granulated sugar
   • 2 tbsp water
4. Step 4

   Prepare the noodles. If using fresh noodles, microwave them for 1 minute at a time until soft and pliable, then gently separate the strands with your hands. If using dried, soak them in hot tap water until bendable but still firm, about 20 minutes, then drain well. Keep the separated noodles at the stove.

   10 min

   • 1 lb fresh wide rice noodles
5. Step 5

   Have the garlic, Chinese broccoli, beaten eggs, oil and sauce lined up by the stove. The cooking goes fast once you start.

   • 1 bunch Chinese broccoli (gai lan), about 12 oz
   • 4 cloves garlic
   • 3 eggs
   • the rest of the neutral oil, such as canola
6. Step 6

   Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers. Add half the pork in a single layer and let it sear undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Scrape onto a plate. Repeat with another 1 tbsp oil and the rest of the pork.

   6 min

   • 1 lb pork loin
   • 2 tbsp neutral oil, such as canola
7. Step 7

   Add 1 tbsp oil to the hot pan. Add the garlic and the Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the leaves and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Move everything to the pork plate.

   3 min

   • 1 bunch Chinese broccoli (gai lan), about 12 oz
   • 4 cloves garlic
   • 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as canola
8. Step 8

   Add the last 1 tbsp oil to the pan over high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, let them set for about 20 seconds, then break them into large curds. Push them to one side.

   2 min

   • 3 eggs
   • 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as canola
9. Step 9

   Add the noodles in an even layer and let them sit without stirring for about 1 minute to char. Pour the sauce over, then fold everything gently with a spatula until the noodles are coated and spotted brown, about 2 minutes. Fold in the pork, broccoli and any juices, season with white pepper, and serve right away with the chili vinegar.

   5 min

   • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
   • 1 lb fresh wide rice noodles
   • ground white pepper
