🥬 Imagine this: a pair of chopsticks in hand, in front of a plate of Pad See Ew so perfectly prepared that even the noodles seem to smile in anticipation of the feast. This dish is like receiving a culinary hug from your grandmother, provided your grandmother is Thai and wields the wok like a true rock star. The slippery noodles, the crunch of fresh vegetables, and that tender chicken marinated in pure magic… Ready to wok’n’roll? 🍜

Preparation
- In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and season generously with pepper. Set aside.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the rice noodles until al dente, then drain, rinse in cold water and toss with a drizzle of sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat, add the marinated chicken and rapini bases, then season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the rapini heads, chopped garlic and mushrooms. Continue cooking, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
- Make a well in the center of the wok, pour in the beaten eggs, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring only in the center, then mix in the rest. Continue cooking for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and scrape the wok clean. Add another drizzle of oil, then the noodles and sauce. Mix well and cook without stirring for 1 minute to lightly caramelize the noodles.
- Return the chicken mixture to the wok, stir well and serve immediately.
