Zucchini Pad See Ew Wide Noodle Style, plated and ready to serve

Pad See Ew is defined by two things: the char from a very hot wok (wok hei) and the wide, flat noodles that char at the edges while absorbing the dark soy and oyster sauce. Wide ribbons of zucchini, cut using a vegetable peeler, replicate the flat noodle experience while providing far more nutrition. The charring technique remains unchanged and non-negotiable.
