Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Follow the package instructions to cook the rice noodles. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
- Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the tofu cubes and cook until all sides are golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until they start to become tender but still have some crunch.
- Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs on the empty side.
- Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the broccoli.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles, broccoli, and eggs.
- Return the cooked tofu to the skillet.
- Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer the pad see ew to serving plates.
- Enjoy immediately!
Tips:
- Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20-30 minutes before cooking to make them more pliable and easy to stir-fry.
- Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, allowing it to crisp up better during cooking.
- Cook the tofu and vegetables separately before combining them with the noodles to ensure they all achieve the perfect texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned wok to prevent the ingredients from sticking during stir-frying.
- Have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a quick process and requires continuous movement.
