Cook the brown rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it's no longer pink, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Add broccoli florets and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles and baby spinach to the skillet. Toss everything together gently.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Pour this mixture over the noodles and stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
Continue to stir-fry until the spinach wilts and all the ingredients are evenly coated with sauce, about 2 minutes.
Serve the Pad See Ew hot with lime wedges to squeeze over before eating for added freshness and flavor.
