Pad See Ew has a sweet-savoury-touch-of-sour flavour, and this is made with a combination of the following ingredients:Consuming too much salt can cause high blood pressure, which may increase your risk of heart disease or stroke.

Recipes vary, but many Thai recipe writers say that the noodles should only ever be soaked in water and never pre-cooked so they don’t clump together. A soggy noodle is to be avoided at all costs.
