Savory stir-fried flat rice noodles tossed with tender marinated beef, eggs, and crisp Chinese broccoli — a comforting and flavor-packed Thai street food classic you can whip up faster than takeout.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Beef Marinade:
  • 200g beef steak (flank, sirloin, or rib-eye), thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch (or potato starch)
  • 2 teaspoons cooking oil
  • For the Stir-Fry:
  • 100–120g dried wide rice noodles (or 300g fresh rice noodles)
  • 3–4 stalks choy sum (or Chinese broccoli, pak choy, gai lan)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3–4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • For the Pad See Ew Sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried rice noodles in hot water for 15 minutes (or follow package instructions). Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Slice the beef thinly and marinate with soy sauce, starch, and oil. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Chop the vegetables and prepare the sauce by whisking all sauce ingredients together until sugar dissolves.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs until just set. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Sear the marinated beef slices for 2–3 minutes on one side, then stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Toss in the stems of the choy sum first, then the leafy parts.
  7. Add drained noodles and pour the sauce over everything. Stir-fry over high heat until the noodles absorb the sauce and turn glossy.
  8. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and give everything a final toss.
  9. Serve hot immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh wide rice noodles if available for a more authentic texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to maintain wok hei (wok aroma).
  • Adjust seasoning to taste with more soy or fish sauce if needed.
  • Can substitute chicken or tofu for beef for different variations.
