Pad See-Ew

Pad see ew (sometimes spelled pad see iew, Thai ผัดซีอิ๊ว, IPA: [pʰàt sī:íw]) is a stir fried noodle dish which is commonly eaten as street food in Thailand. It is also quite popular in Thai restaurants around the world. It is made with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, garlic, broad rice noodles (sen yai), Chinese broccoli, egg, and some form of thinly sliced meat — commonly pork or chicken. The name comes from the dark soy sauce, which is called "nam see ew", or "see ew" sauce, a loanword from Teochew. The literal meaning is "fried (with) soy sauce." This dish is similar to another Thai dish Rad na, however this dish is usually dry and does not contain gravy.
