Ingredient Notes

individual ingredients for vegan pad see ew, including broccoli, wide rice noodles, oil, and sauces

Wide rice noodles – The brand of pad see ew noodles I prefer to use is Nona Lim. I like how they don’t need to be cooked first, so they can just go right into the pan of your Thai stir fry dish.
Broccoli – This is the only veggie I use because I love how it soaks up the sauce. You can switch this out for other veggies like carrots, zucchini, Chinese broccoli, and shallots if you don’t want broccoli though. You could substitute some veggies for tofu if you want that too.
Sriracha – You can change the amount of sriracha depending on how spicy you like it. We like things a little spicy, but you don’t have to put as much as we do.

Step by step instructions

Step 1 – Chop your broccoli and put in the pan with olive oil over medium heat.

the first step to making pad see ew is sautéing the cut up broccoli in olive oil.

Step 2 – Cook rice noodles according to package directions if they aren’t precooked.

Step 3 – When your broccoli is soft, add the rice noodles, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha sauce to the pan.

Tips and tricks

Once all ingredients are combined, don’t stir the stir-fry too much because this may cause a lot of noodles to break. I don’t mind when a few break, but don’t want scrappy pieces.
The noodles might be stuck together when you open the package. If this is the case, let them soak in the sauce in the pan for a minute before stirring and they’ll start to come apart on their own.
