What Is Pad See Ew?
Pad See Ew (sometimes spelled Pad Siew, Pad Siu or Phat Si-Io) is a Thai fried rice noodle dish with soy sauce, meat or seafood and vegetables.
Pad means fried and See Ew means soy sauce, so it means fried soy sauce in Thai language. It’s a Chinese recipe that has been adapted to local Thai flavor.
If you go to Thailand, you can find it sold by street vendors all over the country, just like Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). Pad See Ew is one of my favorite Thai recipes, it’s delicious and utterly satisfying. I can eat it almost every day.
