Pad See-oo

Pad See-oo, Sweet Thai Dish

This simple recipe will appeal to those who like sweet dinners. It is a very common dish in Thailand, according to my Chef friend who gave this recipe to me. This is a GREAT recipe for vegetarians who are needing extra protein.

Flat noodles, cut before cooking if not already cut
2 cloves garlic, minced
head of broccoli, chopped
2 eggs
8 oz. extra firm tofu, drained and diced

Sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons fish sauce (I don't use this, but I hear it is better with than without)
[editor's note: you can deliciously replace fish sauce with "Maggi Seasoning" available in the Asian of some groceries or at any Asian market]
3 teaspoons brown sugar

Mix sauce to taste. You may have to adjust, depending on the sweet to vinegar ratio. Set aside.

Place noodles in boiling water and cook. In a pan, drop two tbsp. of oil, and fry the garlic on high. Move garlic to one side of pan, drop in eggs, and scramble them. Once eggs are completed, add tofu and broccoli, cook until broccoli is bright green. Add 3/4 sauce on top, lower heat, and simmer. Add noodles, add rest of sauce, and mix together until sauce is absorbed.

Serve hot!
