Question: what are thick rice noodles?
Answer: Pad See Ew Noodles, also called sen yai are extra thick, flat rice noodles that are soaked before stir-frying. You can certainly use thinner rice noodles, but the traditional ones used in this Thai Noodle dish are very wide noodles, similar to those used in Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao)
