"Pad See Ew (which means Stir Fried Soy Sauce noodles) is one of the most popular Thai street foods. It's amazing how fast it comes together - once the ingredients are ready to throw into the wok, it takes less than 5 minutes to cook. Traditionally, this is made with Sen Yai which are wide, thin rice noodles. But these are only sold in Asian stores where I live (and I don't have one nearby) so I've made it with wide rice stick noodles which are readily available in supermarkets and it is a pretty close substitute. I've eaten enough Pad See Ew at Thai restaurants to assure you that there is no compromise on flavour!..."

INGREDIENTS
8oz/200g rice stick noodles
2 tablespoons sweet dark soy sauce or kecap manis (see notes for substitutes)NOTES
1. Sweet dark soy sauce is thicker and sweeter than normal soy sauce, and has a more complex flavour. It is available in Asian grocery stores and in the asian section of some large supermarkets. A great substitute is kecap manis which is an Indonesia
2. If you can't find Chinese broccoli, you can substitute with other leafy Chinese vegetables such as pak choy or bok choy. You can also add other vegetables if you wish.
3. You can substitute the chicken with other proteins suitable for stir frying, even tofu or prawns.
4. You can use other noodles if you want, fresh or dried, rice or egg noodles. However, I do not recommend using vermicelli as it is too thin for the strong flavours of the sauce.
5. If you accidentally add the noodles into the pan before checking they are properly rehydrated, simply add ½ cup of water to the pan and bring it boil, tossing the noodles to finish "cooking" them. It won't take long because rice noodles do not re
