Pad see ew · Bangkok
Pad see ew is Bangkok's wok-fried wide rice noodles charred in dark soy with Chinese broccoli, egg and your choice of pork, chicken or seafood. Smoky, sweet, blackened at the edges.
Pad see ew (literally fried with soy sauce) is a Chinese-Thai adaptation of southern Chinese chow fun, brought into Bangkok's Yaowarat district by Teochew migrants in the 19th century. The Thai version swapped Chinese gai lan for the local Chinese broccoli (kana) and added the dark-soy-and-palm-sugar finish that gives the noodles their lacquered glaze. The dish is a workday lunch staple sold from every wok stall in the city. Bangkok's best versions are night-market style: scorching wok, blackened wide noodles, freshly cracked egg.
