    Pad Thai Glass Noodles (ผัดไทวุ้นเส้น)

    Pad Thai Glass Noodles (ผัดไทวุ้นเส้น)

    Pad Thai Glass Noodles

    Hi, everyone.  Mod here.

    I've noticed lately that everytime I was at Thai restaurant when someone at a table asked for the recommended dish s one of those items would always be Pad Thai.  As a former server at Thai restaurants, I did the same thing.  I suggested my customers to try Pad Thai especially who never or rarely eat Thai food.

    Pad Thai Glass Noodles

    Normally, you would see Pad Thai made from rice noodles.  Not so many restaurants will have Pad Thai Glass Noodles.  I know some places have Pad Woon Sen which is made with glass noodles.  But Pad Thai glass noodles and Pad Woon Sen have different sauces and ingredients.

    Why Glass Noodles

    I love glass noodles.  I used to think a good glass noodles always have a clear, transparent look, but it is not always true. Please, read the ingredients of glass noodle before you buy it.  A good quality glass noodle is made from mung beans.  When you use a noodle made from  beans you are decreasing the glycemic index of a recipe significantly.  The glycemic index is a measure of the rate at which a food converts to blood sugar.  Generally, eating lower glycemic index foods has a stabilizing effect on blood sugar.

    Choosing Healthy Glass Noodles

    It is important to use a good quality glass noodle because you have to soak the glass noodle in water before stir fry.  If you choose whatever glass noodle, the noodle might break apart into small pieces, and we don't want it to happen to our Pad Thai Glass Noodle.  Also, make sure the noodles are made from green or mung beans if you are going for lower glycemic index ingredients.

    How I Adapted the Recipe to Make it Healthier

    I adapted this recipe to make it easier to cook.  You can purchase all the ingredients in this recipe at your local grocery store, in the Asian section.  If you are in a rural location you can buy them from Amazon available on the top menu.  By going to amazon through our store you are supporting our blog.

    Pad Thai and Pad Thai Glass Noodles have the same taste which is sweet, sour, and salty.  Also, you can add more of lime juice, chili powder, hot sauce, fish sauce to modify it the way you like it.  This is very  traditional Thai way to eat food.  We always have chili, fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and etc on the dining table.

    [br]To make Pad Thai Glass Noodles

    7. Bring the glass nooldes and shrimp down to the wok after eggs are well done.
    8. Add Pad Thai sauce, follow bean sprouts and green onion
    9. Stir fry until the vegetables are soft. Turn off the stove.
    10. Serve with fresh bean sprouts, green onion, crush roasted unsalted peanut, and hot sauce on the side. YUM!!

      I had extra glass noodles from a previous recipe that I made so I thought I'd try this Pad Thai . May I just say "delish"? I will definitely make this again. It is so light. My noodles had previously been tossed with a little sesame oil so they wouldn't stick together so I didn't need to use any water in the wok.

        Thank you so much! Credit goes to my wife Mod, this was her creation. The best ones come from her time growing up in Thailand. She learned to love this one there.
