Pad See Ew Woon Sen aka Pad Woon Sen. Delicious, chewy glass noodles covered in a soy oyster sauce accompanied with chicken, leafy greens and a red chilli vinegar that is so easy to make at home!
My pad woon sen recipe will knock your socks off in terms of taste and I promise that you will LOVE these!
These pad woon sen noodles only take 30 minutes or less to make and are perfect for lunch or dinner.
This dish originates from Thailand and the original version usually uses thick flat noodles but I'm using clear mung bean noodles for this recipe.
These are probably the best pad woon sen I've ever made and I'm so excited to share the recipe with you!
This dish also pairs deliciously with the chili vinegar which is a total must for a delicious pad see ew flavor! It only requires two ingredients - red chili and white vinegar.

- 2 free-range eggs, whisked
- 3 cups Chinese Broccoli or Gai-Lan, chopped

How to make pad woon sen
- In a small bowl, whisk together your marinade and marinate the chicken.
- In another bowl, soak your noodles for 2 minutes maximum in hot water. Not boiling. Strain and set aside.
- In a hot wok or non stick pan, add avocado oil. Fry chicken and garlic together until mostly cooked. Move the chicken aside and fry your eggs. Break the eggs apart.
- Then add in the chinese broccoli and noodles. Followed by the sauce. Mix together until noodles are coated and greens are cooked. Season with black pepper. Serve hot with chili vinegar.
Where can I find some of these ingredients?
You can find the clear thin mung bean vermicelli noodles at any asian grocer in the Dried Noodle Aisle. They are clear when cooked. For these noodles, I would not recommend boiling them in hot water as they will turn soggy. So only soak them in hot water for 2 minutes maximum.
My Passion for Asian Food
I love Asian food. I actually think it's so incredibly delicious and packed with flavour to hit every single taste bud thanks to the variety of sauces and spices. It's such a treat to have it when I visit Malaysia, my husband's home country.
I was actually inspired by Marion's Kitchen to make this recipe. If you've not heard of Marion, she's a wonderful YouTuber who shares incredible delicious Asian recipes from Thailand, Hong Kong and South East Asia in general. Her recipes are SO delicious looking and she's really inspired me to want to cook more asian recipes.
I grew up eating primarily asian food and I miss my mum's cooking. So it's nice to be able to cook more asian cuisine and share it here.
