Instructions

Prepare ingredients

Cook the 200 g (7 oz) wide flat rice noodles according to the package instructions until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Mix 500 g (1 lb) beef slices with ¼ cup (¼ cups) cornflour. Set aside.
While the noodles cook, chop the vegetables evenly: 100 g (3 ½ oz) bunch bok choy 200 g (7 oz) zucchini and dice 100 g (3 ½ oz) brown onion. Set aside.
Whisk 2 large eggs. Set aside.
Mix together sauce ingredients: 2 tsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 3 tbsp soy sauce 2 tsp white wine vinegar 1 tbsp brown sugar 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Cook

Heat 1 tbsp (1 tablespoon) olive oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the 500 g (1 lb) beef for 1-2 minutes, just until it changes color, then set aside.
In the same pan, stir-fry the 100 g (3 ½ oz) brown onion for 2 minutes, then add 200 g (7 oz) zucchini for another 4 minutes. Return the beef to the pan and push everything to one side.
Pour the whisked 2 large eggs into the empty side of the pan. Scramble them until just set, then mix them with the vegetables.

Combine and finish

Add the sauce, 200 g (7 oz) wide flat rice noodles, and 100 g (3 ½ oz) bunch bok choy to the pan. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.
Plate up and serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1 - Beef Cut

The best cut of beef is tender cuts that have a bit more fat on them such as: scotch fillet (or rib eye), sirloin, flank or beef tenderloin.

Note 2 - Noodles

Traditional Pad See Ew recipes have quite wide noodles. The widest you can find in the supermarkets are Pad Thai noodles. I use these for this recipe. If you want to venture to an Asian supermarket, you could find thicker noodles there.

Note 3 - Oyster Sauce

Substitutions - hoisin sauce, soy sauce + sugar, fish sauce, teriyaki sauce.

if substituting, flavour may be slightly different

Note 4 - Soy Sauce

Substitutions - tamari, coconut aminos, liquid aminos, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce.

if substituting, flavour may be slightly different

Note 5 - White Wine Vinegar

Substitutions - rice wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, champagne vinegar, lemon/lime juice

if substituting, flavour may be slightly different

Note 6 - Garlic

I do recommend fresh garlic and ginger if you can as it is a lot more flavourful with less preservatives than what comes pre-crushed in a jar. If you do use jar amounts, double the quantity I have provided in the recipe. If you're sensitive to the flavour, omit (it just won't taste quite as flavourful)

Storing

Allow to cool completely at room temperature (no more than 2 hours) then add to an airtight container. Eat within 4-5 days (best texture experience is in the first 2-3).

Reheating

Add a tablespoon of water across the dish beforehand and pop straight into the microwave on 1 minute intervals. Stir only after the first minute (this allows the stir fry noodles to loosen and not break apart). Repeat until heated through (approx 3 minutes).
