kcalPad See Ew
Pad means stir fry & See Ew is soy sauce; this iconic dish literally means soy sauce stir fry and is one of the most popular Thai street foods
Although I’m using chicken you can use any protein or meat alternative you like
One of the distinct appeals of this dish is the use of rice noodles(especially fat/wide ones) because they bring a chewiness that regular noodles don’t have
Inexpensive, fast, and tasty. Three things we all look for in a great meal
Tips/Notes/Substitutions
*If you can’t find wide rice noodles, any rice noodle will work. Soak in cold water until soft or overnight to use🚿
*I brined the chicken with 5% salt and a splash of fish sauce but totally optional. You can marinate it with just S&P, any Asian seasoning, or the extra sauce
*Can sub Gai Lan for broccoli, rapini, or fav green vegetable
*Can sub vinegar for lime juice
*If your noodles are dry/sticking to the pan, add 1-2 splashes of water to moisten it up
There’s going to be extra sauce! Use it as a seasoning or as a dip/marinade
