Being a vegetarian who is allergic to cheese, butter and mushroom my only option available when we ordered in was paneer.

Sawadee has an absolutely delicious vegan menu that brings all your senses alive – just the way a meal should be. I would definitely be ordering again! Surely worth the try The noodles, Khow Suey and Thai green curry were subtle and mildly flavoured but delicious nevertheless. It really hit the right notes of spicy and sour and we thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t make out it’s actually vegan. The raw papaya salad was the epitome of perfection and authenticity. The summer rolls were generously filled with rice noodles, carrots, tofu and lettuce and the peanut dipping sauce was indeed the perfect accompaniment to it. The rice, noodles and salads come in paper packaging while the sauces and curries come in dainty glass jars.Ĭoming to the food, I tried the summer rolls with peanut dipping sauce, som tam (raw papaya salad), Khow suey, Thai green curry and drunken noodles and the food was fantastic to say the least. They avoid single use plastics as much as possible. I really commend them on the fact that they are being so conscious of the environment. Being a vegetarian, I often like to explore vegan options too and I was taken aback by the delicious food from Sawadeeįirstly, let’s talk about packaging. Sear the beef until it is 80% cooked through, and transfer back to the marinade bowl.Recently came across Sawadee from the Vegan Kitchen and I was ecstatic to try out their range of authentic Thai food that is all vegan. Heat your wok over high heat until it just starts to smoke, and spread 1 tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok evenly to coat. This will prevent them from sticking to the wok. After you drain the noodles thoroughly, toss the noodles with a tablespoon of oil. If using a dried rice noodle, follow the directions on the package and make sure you undercook the noodles slightly (al dente), since you will be cooking them again in the wok. Be sure to shake off any excess water after rinsing and use them immediately.) ( This extra step will help you avoid a big homogenous lump of noodles during stir-frying. If the noodles are really cold and stiff from refrigeration, rinse them quickly under hot tap water when you are ready to stir-fry the dish.

Make sure your fresh rice noodles are at room temperature. If either of these options don’t work, then use dried rice noodles.

Or you can use our recipe for homemade rice noodles to make them at home. The fresh wide rice noodles really set this dish apart from other noodle dishes, so try your best to find them. We are making our pad see ew with beef, but you can also use chicken, pork, or tofu. It also has the signature flavor of fish sauce. Instead of the mung bean sprouts and scallions you find in Beef Chow Fun, Pad See Ew calls for egg and Chinese broccoli. It’s just as delicious, but the ingredients are slightly different. Pad See Ew is similar to Chinese Beef Chow Fun in that it’s a dish of stir-fried wide rice noodles.

We have since updated it with improved photos, metric measurements, and more. Note: This post was originally published in February 2017. It comes together quickly as long as all the ingredients are prepared ahead of time and ready to go into the wok! It’s no wonder this deliciously chewy Pad See Ew is a popular street food in Thailand.Įvery time I serve any kind of wide rice noodle dish (Pad See Ew included) there are never any leftovers, and family and friends always have rave reviews! Pad See Ew is what I would consider Thai fast food, right up there with all of our favorite takeout noodle dishes like Pork Lo Mein, Singapore Noodles, Pad Thai, and Drunken Noodles.
