Stir Fried Rice Noodles with Black Soy Sauce…(Phad See Eiw)

This recipe is a request from Mrs. Nirintana, Texas. I wrote in English Version so I hope her husband will cook it for her. The noodles I used are very thin so I can’t add more flavor because it might be mushy.

Make: about 4 serving

Ingredients:
½ pound pork or beef or chicken, thinly sliced and cut into bite sized pieces
3 Eggs
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoons plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
¼ teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1 tablespoon white vinegar
½ tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound wide rice noodles, separated (I substituted with rice noodle sheets for spring roll)
1 pound (about 3 cups) young chinese broccoli or substitute with broccoli flowerets, carrot etc.
Black soy sauce or substitute with blackstrap molasses
Vegetable oil


**Make sure you have everything ready before begining because it’s fast cooking**

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix pork, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Let stand for at least 15 minutes.


2. To prepare the vegetables, separate the stem from the leaf. Slice the stems about ½ inch long and cut the leafs into big pieces, divide because they don’t cook at the same rate.


3. To prepare the noodle, if using rice noodles sheets. Soak about 5 noodle sheets in warm water until soft. Remove noodle sheets from the water. Place noodles sheets on a cutting board, using pizza cutter or knife, cut into ½ inch wide strips. Separate the noodles and place in a bowl. Add a little bit of oil and black soy sauce; mix until sauce covers all the noodles. Repeat directions for 1 pound of noodles. Set aside.


4. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.

5. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add minced garlic and stir until aromatic. Add marinated meat and stir-fry until almost cooked. Move the meat to the side of the skillet. Add extra oil about 2 tablespoons to open area. Add 2 eggs beaten; scramble the egg until cooked, then move the egg to the side of the skillet with meat. Add broccoli stems and stir-fry until almost cook.


Add noodle, broccoli leafs and sauce mixture. Stir and mix everything together; cook until noodles are hot and vegetable is cooked but still crisp.


6. To serve; put on individual plate and sprinkle with ground white pepper on top and sliced of lime. You can add more flavor, if you want.
