- 2 tbsp. Thai black soy sauce or oyster sauce
Broth
- 2 tbsp cooking oil of choice
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups pork broth (or chicken)

- 3 tbsp corn starch

- 2 tbsp. Thai mushroom soy sauce
- 1 tbsp, or more to taste, oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp, or more to taste, sugar
- Thai Sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- Mix pork and oyster sauce in a bowl, and marinate it at least 20 minutes to overnight in the fridge.
- Soak the rice noodles for at least 30 minutes in cold water.
- Warm up a wok or pan and add cooking oil.
- Add the noodles, and black soy sauce and stir-fry until noodles become soft. (The dark soy sauce is just to give some color and a little flavor to the noodles, so you don’t need too much of it.)
- Set noodles aside.
- Add oil to the same wok or pan and warm it.
- Add garlic and cook a few minutes until it smells amazing.
- Add in pork, and stir-fry until halfway cooked.
- Add the broth, and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add in chinese broccoli, the sauces and sugar to taste. Cook over a gentle boil until chinese broccoli is tender but still crisp, just a few minutes.
- Keeping the gravy at a gentle boil, mix water and corn starch in a bowl, and add it to the wok until the mixture is thickened to your likening.
- To plate it, first add a serving of noodles to a plate, and then ladle on the Lad Na gravy.
- Feel free to add Thai sriracha to your delight if you want to eat it Sukhothai style like us!
- Enjoy!
