Pad see ew (sometimes spelled pad see iew; Lao ຜັດສີອິ໊ວ; Thai ผัดซีอิ๊ว, pronounced [pʰǎt sīːíw, pʰàt sīːíw]) is a Chinese-influenced stir fried noodle dish which is commonly eaten as street food in Laos and Thailand. It is also quite popular in Lao and Thai restaurants around the world.
The literal meaning is "fried (with) soy sauce" and it is very similar to the char kway teow of Singapore and Malaysia. The Lao dish Lard Na and the Thai dish Rad Na are also fairly similar, however, pad see ew does not contain the amount of gravy as do these last two dishes.
It is made with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, garlic, broad rice noodles (called "sen yai" or "kway teow"), 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.
Pad see ew can be made with sliced beef, and shrimp or mixed seafood also.
