Traditionally a Thai dish featuring thick flat rice noodles, I decided to give it my own twist by using thin hokkien noodles, and let me tell you—it turned out to be pure magic! One of the things I absolutely adore about Thai cuisine is the art of balancing sweet, salty, spicy, and sour flavors. As a big fan of Thai cooking, I couldn’t resist the temptation to recreate one of my all-time favorites, and of course, put a vegan spin on it.
Hokkien Noodles: If you’re a noodle enthusiast like me, you’re in for a treat! Hokkien noodles are a personal favorite, and for this recipe, I’ve chosen the thin variety. However, feel free to experiment with rice noodles or the thicker hokkien noodles based on your preference.
Vegan Oyster Sauce: Prepare to be amazed by this condiment! Vegan oyster sauce is a flavor powerhouse, offering a burst of umami goodness. Unlike traditional oyster sauce, its rich flavor is derived from mushrooms, making it a true flavor bomb. Start with a little and adjust to taste, as it’s quite potent.
Gai Lan (Asian Greens): When it comes to stir-fries, Gai Lan is a star performer. This Asian green is a perfect companion for noodles, adding a delightful crunch to the dish. The best part? You won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything.
Oodles of noodles in a sweet and savory umami sauce, dancing alongside fresh and crunchy gai lan. It’s a simple yet divine combination that comes together in just minutes. Pad See Ew Hokkien is destined to become your go-to weeknight meal! Try it tonight and love it for life.
