This is a “hot” version of Pad Thai. Pad Mee is quite an elaborate dish. The style usually found in Thai restaurants outside Thailand is particularly elaborate. In Thailand, there is a local, very simple variant of the dish, known as pad mee Korat. Made with a recipe that consists of partly cooking a cup of noodles, then stir frying them with a cup of sliced and shredded cabbage, adding a little tamarind juice for flavor, and drizzling a beaten egg over it to complete it. The version below is a slightly more elaborate version of pad mee Korat, which is also fairly hot. This version we call pad mee Korat phet (hot stir fried noodles in the Korat style). The original uses cabbage, but any greens will do. We make this with a mixture of broccoli and asparagus.
To simplify the dish we point out that it is actually made using table condiments, thus the ingredients are not as complicated as they look. We will first include recipes for the table condiments you need. In Thailand these would probably be on every household’s table, but if you don’t have them you should make them about a week before you intend to cook the dish.

Put two thirds of a cup of sliced/chopped Thai chili peppers in a 1 pint jar, and fill with fish sauce – nam pla. Seal and keep for a week before using.
