Noodles
  • Flat Rice Noodles

    200 grams

    for frying

  • Chinese Broccoli

    1 bunch

  • Carrots

    2 medium

  • Baby Corn

    1 cup

  • Mushrooms

    1 cup

  • Snow Peas

    1 cup

  • Scallions

    1 cup

    1 tablespoon

  • Sugar

    1 teaspoon

  • Salt

    a pinch


Instructions

  • 1
    Cook the noodles according to the package and set aside.

    Start by cooking your flat rice noodles. Follow the instructions on the package for the correct cooking time and method. Once cooked, drain and set the noodles aside, ready for the stir-fry.

  • 2
    Prepare all the vegetables by washing, peeling, and slicing them appropriately.

    Next, focus on preparing your vegetables. Wash the Chinese broccoli, carrots, baby corn, mushrooms, snow peas, and scallions. Peel the carrots and slice all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and quickly in the stir-fry.

  • 3
    Heat a large wok or frying pan with some vegetable oil.

    In a large wok or a deep frying pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. This will be the base for your stir-fry, so ensure the pan is hot before adding the vegetables.

  • 4
    Stir-fry the vegetables in batches if necessary, starting with the hardest vegetables first.

    Begin stir-frying your vegetables. It might be necessary to cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. Start with the hardest vegetables like carrots and broccoli, then proceed to the softer ones like mushrooms and snow peas. Cook until they are tender but still crisp.

  • 5
    Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, and salt to the pan.

    Once all the vegetables are cooked, add the pre-cooked noodles to the pan. Then, pour in the soy sauce, add oyster sauce if you're using it for extra flavor, a teaspoon of sugar to balance the savory and salty flavors, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together to combine, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.

  • 6
    Finish by stir-frying everything together for a couple of minutes.

    Continue to stir-fry everything together for about 2-3 minutes. This ensures all the flavors meld together, and the noodles absorb the savory sauce. Keep the heat on high to maintain the stir-fry's signature quick cooking method.

  • 7
    Serve hot, garnished with additional scallions if desired.

    Finally, serve your Vegetable Pad See Ew hot. You can garnish with some additional sliced scallions on top for a pop of color and freshness. This dish is best consumed immediately to enjoy the combination of flavors and textures at their peak.

    I recently had the chance to try this Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe, and I must say, it was a pleasant surprise. As a pescatarian who loves exploring different cultures and flavors, I appreciated the classic Chinese stir-fry dish made with a variety of vegetables. The use of flat rice noodles, combined with the savory soy sauce and touch of sweetness, reminded me of the importance of balance in a dish, much like the balance we strive for in our own ohana. I would have loved to see more locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients incorporated into the recipe, but overall, the flavors and textures worked well together. Mahalo to the chef for sharing this recipe, and I look forward to experimenting with it using some of our Hawaiian favorites, like locally-grown Chinese broccoli and Maui onions. Perhaps next time, I'll add some spam musubi on the side for a fun fusion twist!

    I must say, this Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe has truly won my heart. As a vegetarian, I appreciate the variety of colorful vegetables used in this dish, from Chinese broccoli to carrots and snow peas. The instructions are easy to follow, and I love how the flat rice noodles absorb the savory sauce. However, I do wish there were more options for gluten-free soy sauce, as I would need to substitute it to make this dish suitable for my dietary needs.Overall, I think this recipe is a great way to explore the world of Chinese stir-fries, and I appreciate the attention to detail in the cooking method. Perhaps in the future, we could experiment with a similar recipe using Indian spices and lentils? Until then, I will certainly enjoy modifying this recipe to suit my gluten-free requirements and savoring the delightful flavors it has to offer.

    As I embarked on the culinary adventure that is Vegetable Pad See Ew, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between this dish and the refined French cuisine I've grown accustomed to. While the instructions were meticulous and the execution straightforward, I found the overall essence of the dish to be somewhat lacking in élan. The combination of Chinese broccoli, carrots, and other vegetables was certainly colorful, but the depth of flavor, unfortunately, did not live up to my expectations. The use of soy sauce, sugar, and salt created a sauce that, albeit serviceable, seemed rather pedestrian compared to the intricate sauces commonly found in haute cuisine. Nonetheless, I commend the recipe's attempt at fusing various elements into a harmonious whole. Perhaps with a few adjustments, such as the incorporation of higher-quality ingredients and a slightly more nuanced approach to seasoning, this Vegetable Pad See Ew could elevate itself to a truly memorable dining experience. Until then, I would classify it as an interesting, if slightly uninspired, foray into the realms of Oriental cuisine.

    I like this Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe. It is similar to dim sum dishes I have tried. The ingredients are simple and the steps are easy to follow. I like that it does not include shellfish, so it is safe for me to eat. The soy sauce and sugar add good flavor. I will try this recipe at home.

  • Pabz22

    honestly, this vegtable pad see ew is ok, i mean, its not like its bad or anythin, but i was kinda hopin for somethin with more kick, more flavor, u know? i added some extra soy sauce and it helped a bit, but i still cant help but think it needs some carna asada or al pastor to give it that extra oomph. the veggies are cooked nice and all, but i dont know, it just feels like somethin is missin. maybe its just me, but i need a bit more heat in my life, u feel? still, i guess its a solid dish if ur into that sorta thing, just dont expect me to be tradin in my tacos for a wok anytime soon

    Upon analyzing the Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe, it becomes apparent that this dish diverges significantly from my customary culinary preferences, which tend towards non-vegetarian fare, particularly traditional Indian cuisine. Nevertheless, from a technical standpoint, the recipe appears to be well-structured, with a clear and concise listing of ingredients, preparation time, and cooking methodology. The instruction sequence is logical, facilitating ease of execution for an individual with intermediate cooking proficiency. However, the absence of chicken or other protein sources, in addition to the relatively mild flavor profile, detracts from the dish's overall appeal to my palate. Moreover, the lack of spicy elements, which typically characterize my preferred culinary options, further diminishes the recipe's rating. In conclusion, while Vegetable Pad See Ew demonstrates a satisfactory adherence to standard stir-fry protocols, its failure to incorporate protein and spicy components prevents it from aligning with my gastronomical affinities, thus warranting a modest rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

    I've just whipped up a Vegetable Pad See Ew and I'm utterly delighted with the result! As a flexitarian, I'm always on the lookout for dishes that are packed with a variety of vegetables, and this stir-fry didn't disappoint. The combination of Chinese broccoli, carrots, baby corn, and snow peas was an absolute treat. However, I did have to make a few tweaks to accommodate my gluten intolerance - I swapped out the soy sauce for a gluten-free alternative and omitted the oyster sauce (which often contains gluten). Locally sourcing the ingredients was a bit of a challenge, but I managed to track down some fabulous locally-grown scallions and mushrooms. Overall, this recipe is a real winner, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, easy, and ridiculously tasty stir-fry. Just be sure to keep an eye on the heat - I got a bit distracted and nearly overcooked the noodles (oops, sorry, scatterbrain alert!). All in all, 4 stars from me - and I'm already planning my next culinary adventure!

    I recently had the opportunity to prepare and sample the Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe. While it is evident that this dish is a classic representation of Chinese stir-fry cuisine, I must admit that it did not entirely align with my personal culinary preferences. The combination of flat rice noodles and assorted vegetables, flavored with soy sauce and a hint of sweetness, resulted in a dish that was both satisfying and nutritious. However, as someone who tends to favor traditional American cuisine and grilled meats, I found the overall flavor profile to be somewhat lacking in depth and richness. Nonetheless, I appreciated the clarity of the instructions and the relatively straightforward preparation process. Ultimately, I would recommend this recipe to individuals who enjoy Chinese cuisine and are seeking a quick and easy stir-fry option. As for myself, I would likely need to modify the recipe to incorporate more robust flavors and ingredients to truly appreciate its potential.

    I found the Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe to be a fascinating example of a traditional Chinese stir-fry dish, with a notable emphasis on a diverse range of vegetables. As a halal-only eater, I appreciate the absence of any non-halal ingredients, making this dish suitable for my dietary requirements. The instructions provided are meticulously detailed, allowing for a thorough understanding of the cooking process, which I appreciate as a detail-oriented individual. While the recipe itself is not a part of my traditional North African cuisine, I appreciate the cultural exchange and exploration of different culinary traditions. The flavors mentioned, such as soy sauce, seem intriguing, and I would likely opt to add some halal-friendly alternative to the oyster sauce for enhanced flavor. The dish, in its presented form, offers a nice balance of savory and sweet flavors, which I find appealing.

    I like this recipe for Vegetable Pad See Ew. It is easy to make gluten free by using gluten free soy sauce. The stir fry is very tasty and the recipe is simple to follow. I like that the dish is spicy, but not too spicy. I think it would be great with some naan bread, but I need to make a gluten free version. The only thing I did not like was that the recipe did not have any Indian spices, I like trying new Indian dishes and this one is more Chinese. But overall, it is a nice recipe.

  • Astry87

    I must confess that this Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe has piqued my interest, despite being a far cry from the traditional German cuisine to which I am accustomed. The amalgamation of assorted vegetables, deftly stir-fried and served over flat rice noodles, is undeniably tantalizing. The incorporation of soy sauce and a touch of sweetness lends a certain je ne sais quoi to the dish, which I appreciate. However, I must deduct a star on account of the option to include oyster sauce, which, while not a concern for my own tastes, may detract from the dish's vegan viability. Furthermore, I am compelled to note that the preparation time is judiciously estimated, and the steps outlined are remarkably lucid. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this recipe to those seeking a satisfying, nut-free, and ostensibly vegan-friendly culinary experience, provided that oyster sauce is either omitted or substituted with a suitable alternative.

    I try Vegetable Pad See Ew. It is nice, but I think it need more protein. Maybe add chicken or pork, then it is more good. I like noodle, it is similar to ramen, but not same. Vegetable is fresh, but I no like so much vegetable, I like meat more. I give 3 star, because it is okay, but not my favorite. I want to try with meat next time.

  • thompy23

    Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about tryin' out this Vegetable Pad See Ew, I mean, it's a pretty veggies-centric dish and I'm more of a 'where's the beef?' kinda guy. But, hey, I figured it'd be worth a shot. The dish was pretty straightforward to make, and I gotta give it props - the combo of soy sauce, sugar, and noodles was actually pretty tasty. That being said, it wasn't exactly a flavor bomb that blew my mind, ya know? I mean, I'd still take a juicy burger over this any day of the week. But hey, I ain't gonna lie, it was a decent meal, and I didn't totally hate it. Maybe if they added some actual protein, like chicken or beef, I'd be more stoked about it. As it stands, it's a solid 3 stars from me - not bad, but not my usual cup of joe either.

    Upon scrutinizing the Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe, I must confess that it aligns with my vegetarian inclinations, presenting a diverse array of vegetables, such as Chinese broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms, stir-fried to perfection. Although it does not adhere to the traditional Indian cuisine that my palate is accustomed to, I appreciate the simplicity and speed of preparation, totaling approximately 35-55 minutes. Notably, the recipe incorporates flat rice noodles, which is a fortunate choice given my gluten intolerance, as rice noodles are generally gluten-free. However, I would recommend verification of the specific noodles employed to confirm their gluten-free status. The combination of soy sauce, sugar, and salt, complemented by the optional oyster sauce, likely presents a balanced and savory flavor profile. To tailor this recipe to my tastes, I might consider the addition of select Indian spices or a dollop of yogurt to introduce a tangy, creamy element. Overall, the Vegetable Pad See Ew recipe appears to be a straightforward, satisfying dish, meriting a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
