Thai Stir-Fried Glass Noodles With Carrots and Roasted Peanuts (Pad Woon Sen).Connie Miller of CB Creatives
The cuisine of Thailand is much like its markets â a riot of sensory overload, with fresh, bright flavors and contrasting textures coming at you. Thankfully, itâs not hard to re-create this combination of sweet, salty, umami, crunchy, brothy, and more. Glass noodles soak up the flavors of soy, oyster, and fish sauces in a stir-fry topped with peanuts and carrots for a colorful pad woon sen. For our khao tom, or rice soup, bright ginger and pungent soy sauce balance the richness of egg and savory pork meatballs. And tapioca makes a fantastic stand-in for our spin on khao niaow ma muang, or mango sticky rice.
