Notes
Bok Choy: Use Chinese broccoli or broccoli (has to be cooked a little longer) instead of bok choy.
Dark Soy Sauce is made of soy sauce, caramel color, and sugar. It’s thicker, darker, and slightly sweeter than regular or light soy sauce and is often used for adding color and flavor to dishes. You can buy it at the Asian market. Substitute with regular soy sauce, although this won’t give your noodles such an intense color.
Mushroom sauce is the vegetarian pendant to oyster sauce and can be bought in any Asian grocery store (other names: “Mushroom Vegetarian Stir-Fry Sauce, Vegetarian Stir-Fry Sauce, or Mushroom Soy Sauce“).
Vegan Pad See Ew: Omit the eggs! If you like to add some plant-based protein, prepare tofu according to this tofu stir fry recipe and add it at the last step in the recipe!
Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
