Boil water and add 8 ounces of pad thai noodles, turning off the heat and letting them sit for about 2 minutes.

Drain the noodles and rinse them to remove any starches, then set aside.

Prep 8 ounces of broccolini by cutting it into small pieces.

Thinly slice 3 thai chilies, recommending gloves for safety due to their spiciness.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of distilled vinegar with the sliced chilies to create a condiment.

In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup of regular soy sauce, 6 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce, and 4 teaspoons of distilled white vinegar to create the sauce.

Slice 8 ounces of skirt steak and heat a large cast iron skillet on high, adding vegetable oil.

Pat the steak dry and sear it in the hot skillet without moving it for a good sear, about 2 minutes, then flip and sear for another minute before removing it from the pan.

Add more vegetable oil to the skillet, then crack 2 eggs into a bowl and stir them before adding to the pan, cooking for about 20 seconds until they start to set.

Add the broccolini and 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic to the pan, stirring to combine.

Add the drained noodles to the pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute.

Return the seared steak to the pan along with any accumulated juices and the sauce mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Stir-fry for about 4 minutes, ensuring the sauce caramelizes slightly but does not burn, adding salt to taste if necessary.
