Pad See Ew is our famous stir-fried rice noodle dish (yes, I have a recipe), but this egg noodle version is something I've only ever seen in southern Thailand where I grew up! These chubby fresh egg noodles have the most perfect chewiness, and with the salty-sweet-smoky flavour, it's one of the hardest dishes to stop eating!!

These egg noodles are also much easier to find and much easier to work with than the fresh wide rice noodles, which makes this a very doable weeknight dinner!

Egg Noodle Pad See Ew หมี่เหลืองผัดซีอิ้ว


Ingredients

Marinated Pork

  • 200 g pork butt, cut into thin, bite-sized slices (you can substitute other protein of your choice)
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp water

Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp Golden Mountain Sauce
  • 1 ½ tsp black soy sauce

The Rest

  • Vegetable oil for sauteing
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 g Chinese broccoli
  • 400 g fresh egg noodles, large size, pre-cooked
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • A dash White pepper

Chili Vinegar

  • Spicy chili peppers of your choice, you can use Thai chilies, serranos, or habaneros.
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • White vinegar, ¼-½ cup as needed to blend

Ingredients and Kitchen Tools I Use


Instructions

Combine the pork, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp water and stir to mix well. Let marinade for at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the chili vinegar: Cut the chilies in half lengthwise and if you want to reduce the heat, remove the seeds and pith. Place the chilies on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut-side down, along with the garlic cloves and broil under high heat until the chilies are charred and the garlic cloves are browned. This only takes a few minutes so keep an eye on them, and you may need to remove the garlic first. Transfer the chilies and garlic to the blender, add ¼ cup of vinegar and blend until there are no more chunks, adding more vinegar as needed to get a thin, runny sauce. You can store the chili vinegar in the fridge for up to 6 months.

Combine all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.

In a wok, heat just enough oil to cover the bottom until hot. Add the pork and spread them out into one layer, then let the pieces sear until browned on one side. Once browned, stir the pork and continue to saute over high heat until the pork is fully cooked. (If you have the patience, you can flip all the pork pieces and let them brown on the other side...I just never have that much patience with them!). Remove and set aside in a bowl. 

Wipe the wok with paper towel to get rid of any liquid left over from cooking the pork, then add a little more oil to the wok. Add the garlic, turn the heat on to medium and saute until the smallest pieces start to turn golden. Add the eggs, break the yolks, and turn the heat up to medium high and let the eggs set about half way. Scramble the egss briefly, then add the Chinese broccoli and toss for 20 seconds just to wilt. Add the noodles, the mixed sauce, and sugar; turn the heat to high and toss until the noodles are thoroughly mixed with the sauce.

Once noodles are well coated, let them sit in the wok without stirring until some of the noodles on the bottom start to toast and turn brown; the timing for this will differ depending on the heat of your stove and the size of your wok, but it could be as fast as 15 seconds if you've got a high BTU stove. Stir the noodles, then let it sit again to toast some more; do this a few times until the noodles are toasted to your liking. Add the pork back into the pan, along with any juices that has collected in the bowl, and toss for 30 more seconds until well combined and the noodles are dry.

Plate the noodles and sprinkle a little ground white pepper on top, then drizzle with a little of the chili vinegar. Enjoy!

Tom yum goong maybe the most famous soup of Thailand, but its milder creamier sister, tom kha gai , is my personal favourite. This comforting Thai coconut chicken soup recipe is infused with the classic Thai herbs: lemongrass, galangal, and makrut (kaffir) lime leaves. It's so easy yet so loveable that when someone asks, "I'm new to Thai food, what should I try/make first?" Tom kha gai is my answer.

If you love mangoes, and you love mango desserts, Mango Royale, aka Mango Float, is an absolute must-try; right after mango and sticky rice , of course! It's a frozen Filipino dessert that takes advantage of peak-of-the-season mangoes, and uses only 5 ingredients. There's no baking involved, and it's so easy it's essentially fool-proof!

I LOVE all kinds of basil, but I don't love how quickly it goes bad and that it doesn't freeze well. So I came up with this recipe as a way to use up any amount of basil you have on hand . It's an easy and versatile sauce that only uses pantry staples, and can be stored in the fridge for at least a week. Reheat it and pour onto any cooked protein, or use it as a stir fry sauce - or heck, you can even use it as gravy for your mashed potatoes. It can also be made vegan. The possibilities are endless!

Imagine this: soft and creamy ice cream bars that you didn't need to whip or churn. All you have to do is cook the ice cream base, pour it into a mold, then cut it into pieces. And it's so soft your teeth will glide right through it as you take a bite, and it's wonderfully chewy. Yes, chewy.

I wanted a fried rice recipe that really celebrates the flavours of chilies - not just their heat. This fried rice features not one, not two, but three different types of chilies, combined with the fragrance of Thai basil to tie it all together! And no, it doesn't make this dish overwhelmingly spicy, and you can indeed customize the heat level while still preserving all the delicious chili flavour. It's not something I created out of thin air, but a traditional Thai dish (with a couple of tweaks from me)!

If you love cooking Asian food, oyster sauce is probably already in your kitchen. But do you know if the one you have is a "good one”? And is the expensive oyster sauce you bought (or didn't buy) worth the splurge?

With over 3 million views on YouTube, this recipe is one of the most popular, and an OG, on Hot Thai Kitchen. This world-famous tom yum soup is universally loved; and with this authentic recipe I promise you can make it as good as, if not better than, the ones in restaurants. It's one of the first dishes I learned to make as a child because it's so easy, making this a great first Thai dish to try!

Pad see ew is one of the most well-known and well-loved Thai dishes, but most people only know of the more common version of pad see ew that uses fresh wide rice noodles (ho fun). This version however uses thin rice vermicelli, and it's the one that I actually grew up eating in Thailand. It’s an incredibly fast dish to make; from the time I get up to cook to the time I sit down to eat, it takes only 20 minutes! You can even watch me prep and cook it all up in real time in the video tutorial below just to see how fast it really is!

Easy, delicious, and versatile; what else could you ask for in a chicken recipe? Lemongrass chicken is a staple menu item in Vietnamese restaurants in Canada, and one that my husband gets all the time - which is why I was inspired to recreate it. It is so quick to prepare, kid-friendly, can last you the whole week in the fridge (yay meal prep), and you can grill or broil it!
