Phat si-io

Pad See Ew is a delectable stir-fried noodle dish with Chinese origins that has become a beloved staple in Thailand and Thai restaurants worldwide. The name "Pad See Ew" translates to "fried (with) soy sauce" and it bears a close resemblance to Singaporean and Malaysian char kway teow.

One of the main distinctions between Pad See Ew and a similar dish, Rat Na (or Lard Na), lies in their preparation methods: Pad See Ew is dry stir-fried, while Rat Na is served with a thickened gravy.

To create Pad See Ew, you'll need light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, garlic, broad rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, and eggs. You can also include tofu or thinly sliced meat such as pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, or other seafood. Although traditionally made with flat rice noodles—which is why it's sometimes referred to as kuaitiao phat si-io—you can opt for other types of noodles as well.

Whether you're an experienced cook or just starting out, Pad See Ew is a delightful and versatile dish that’s sure to impress!
