Pad See Ew Recipe (Pad Siew)

Thai food is one of our favorites and with just a few new ingredients in your pantry it can be a household favorite for you too. We are all used to Chinese food copycat recipes, but Thai food is possibly even more flavorful and naturally generally healthier too.

Once you start experimenting with these flavors and ingredients like fish sauce, dark soy sauce and oyster sauce (which is also an ingredient in my favorite fried rice) you’ll see they aren’t as unusual as they may seem (or smell) individually. In fact the flavors of this Pad See Ew all come together to make a delicious stir fry sauce you’ll find yourself experimenting with for different recipes too.

How do you cook Rice Noodles?

There are two schools of thought about rice noodles. Some people like the all soaking method where you soak in cold water for 30-45 minutes before draining. The second method is to boil them for one minute, steep for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse before adding to recipes.

If I am in a rush I prefer to boil/steep and rinse because I can do that while cooking the rest of the ingredients in the wok. For this recipe I actually soaked the noodles in water until they went from translucent to white, this took about 30 minutes.
