hi myka,

if you see people cooking this on the street here in thailand, you'll see everyone using white sugar. but that aside, feel free to try it both ways to see which you prefer. yes, it will change the flavor.

I’ve seen other recipes use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Do you recommend this? Does it give the noodles a different flavor?

Sen Yai is Thai for “wide rice noodles”. You can find the picture and description in our glossary:

Is there egg in this dish? it looks like there might be from the picture. If so, when should it be added? thanks!

Very nice. I doubled the amount of sauce as I realized the amount of noodles & broccoli I had was at least two portions. Thanks for the recipe!

Sean -
This dish is called Pad See Ew which means “stir fried with soy sauce”. It’s Chinese in origin – not originally Thai.

I’m sure there are some cooks in Thailand who add fish sauce when cooking this recipe. But there are plenty who do not. If you’d rather use fish sauce, cut down a bit on the light soy sauce, maybe go 1/2 and 1/2.
