What does see-eew mean? In the Thai language, it means soy sauce. Pad See-eew is a popular food that is commonly found in restaurants in Thailand. It can also be found on food stands on the streets. This dish is usually served with chicken or sliced pork and kale (Chinese broccoli). I like to marinate the pork before I cook because it makes pork more tender and taste better.
