pad-see-eiw : stir-fried rice noodles with black soy sauce


Pad-See-Eiw : Stir-fried Rice Noodles with Black Soy Sauce
If you are in Bangkok or in Thailand and you have not tired street food, then you are not really here nor visiting here.
.....
"Pad-See-Ew" is very common & popular in Bangkok. You can easily find it at any corners.

I don’t recall since when it becomes one of my favourite dishes. By the time I realise it, I keep ordering this dish very often, probably 5 times a month. It’s a kind of Thai fast-food which is perfect for lunch time when we, literally, have very limited time to eat as we have to run back to work. (This is such a poor lifestyle of average working people who live in big cities.)

Anyway, I know this dish looks very dodgy but trust me. It’s so very good and it’s very easy to cook at home.

Find here below a recipe of "pad-see-eiw"


2 cups of Rice noodle (thickly cut into 1-2 inches)
1 & ½ cups of Chicken breast/ pork / beef (thinly sliced, 2 inches strips)
