I’ve tested several Pad See Ew recipes over the years and my favourite is by Recipe Tin Eats. I didn’t change a thing with the method, but I like to add bean sprouts for extra crunch and serve with a side of a vinegar chilli drizzle, which is how Thai street food vendors traditionally serve up! Adds extra punch, tang and zing. My fav.
