📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pad see ew means 'soy sauce stir-fry' and rivals pad thai as one of the most popular stir-fried noodles at Thai stalls. Influenced by Chinese immigrant food culture, it classically stir-fries wide rice noodles (sen yai) in sweet dark soy sauce (see ew dam) until smoky, with Chinese broccoli (kai lan) and egg. Its seasoning is simpler than pad thai's, and the key is the smoky 'wok hei' from cooking it fast over a stall's searing-hot wok.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At an evening stall, smoke and the scent of caramelizing soy sauce rise from the hands of the owner tossing a big wok.
