Golden Crispy Tofu Pad See Ew

This vegetarian twist on the beloved Thai street food classic features wide rice noodles and crunchy Chinese broccoli. The star of this dish is the firm tofu, pan-fried until golden and crisp, which perfectly absorbs the rich, sweet, and salty soy sauce glaze.

Ingredients

8 oz dried wide rice noodles (XL width)
1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups Chinese broccoli (Gai Lan), stems and leaves separated
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
2 tbsp regular soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce (thick)
2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce (mushroom stir-fry sauce)
1 tbsp brown sugar or palm sugar
0.5 tsp ground white pepper
1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the dried rice noodles in warm water for 15-20 minutes until pliable but not mushy, then drain. If using fresh noodles, separate them gently.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper to make the sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and a pinch of salt. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    Wipe the wok clean if necessary, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and increase heat to high. Add the minced garlic and Chinese broccoli stems. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add the noodles to the wok and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss quickly to coat the noodles evenly, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until the noodles absorb the color.

  6. 6

    Push the noodles to one side of the wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Let them set for 15 seconds, then scramble them lightly.

  7. 7

    Toss the noodles and eggs together. Add the Chinese broccoli leaves and the cooked crispy tofu back into the pan.

  8. 8

    Let the noodles sit undisturbed for 30-60 seconds to allow them to slightly char and caramelize (this creates the signature 'wok hei' smoky flavor).

  9. 9

    Give everything one final toss to wilt the leaves slightly, then remove from heat and serve immediately.
