Ingredients

Pad See Ew Sauce

1 teaspoon Dark Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Oyster Sauce
1 teaspoon White Vinegar
½ teaspoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar

Noodles and Stir Fry

50 g Rice Stick Noodles (Dry)
1 clove Garlic

Instructions

Cook the noodles – Begin by cooking the rice noodles according to the instructions on the package and set them aside.
Make the sauce – Gather all the ingredients for the pad see ew sauce and stir together in a small bowl.
Prep the veggies – Prepare the vegetables by mincing the garlic and onion and washing the spinach.
Prep the chicken – Cut the chicken thigh into small, bite-sized pieces, removing any excess fat in the process. Weigh it to ensure you have 4 ounces (or your preferred amount) of chicken after removing the excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken and veggies – Spray a skillet with cooking spray and turn to medium-high heat to sauté the vegetables. Begin to add in the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side while stirring the vegetables around constantly to avoid overcooking and burning anything.
Mix together – Once the chicken looks about done and the vegetables have softened, add in the cooked rice noodles and the pad see ew stir fry sauce. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Add an egg – Move the mixture to one side and crack in an egg on the other side. Wait for the egg to begin to solidify, then break the egg and mix it in with the noodles thoroughly.
Garnish and serve – Remove from the pan, top with chili powder and any other preferred garnishes, and enjoy your delicious healthy chicken pad see ew
