Pad See Ew - Thai Stir Fried Rice noodles

Pad See Ew literally means Stir fry soy sauce noodles. For Pad Thai its on a sweet side, this noodles are on salty and sour balance. Basically you can add just fresh rice noodles, Chinese Broccoli, egg and sauces but I needed more vegetables so I have added mushroom too to give a meaty texture. The sauce for the noodles is the key, don't add more or less otherwise noodles will be dry if less or runny if its too much. If you can not find Chinese broccoli, add spinach and broccoli or broccolini.

You can use any protein in it, chicken is the best but for me I keep it simple.

For sauces you need, dark soy sauce, soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, vinegar and sugar.

For noodles, if you can get fresh rice noodles its best, otherwise you can use any broad rice noodles or even pad Thai noodles.
