Pad Woon Sen

ผัดวุ้นเส้น

Mild

Pad Woon Sen is a light stir-fry of glass noodles (bean thread noodles) with egg, vegetables, and pork or chicken — milder and less oily than Pad Thai, making it a great choice for those seeking something lighter.

Key Ingredients

  • glass noodles
  • egg
  • carrot
  • spring onion
  • pork or chicken

Where to Try It

Thai rice-and-curry shops and street stalls throughout the country.

Tips

  • Soak glass noodles in room-temperature water (not boiling) for 10 minutes before cooking — they absorb all the sauce flavour beautifully.
