Pad WoonSen – A Light and Flavorful Thai Stir-Fry
Pad WoonSen is a beloved Thai street-food dish featuring delicate glass noodles (cellophane noodles) tossed with vibrant vegetables and your choice of protein—tender chicken or golden tofu. At NiyomThai in Warsaw, we elevate this classic by stir-frying each ingredient over high heat to lock in texture and aroma.
What Makes Our Pad WoonSen Special?
- Glass Noodles: Also known as cellophane noodles, they absorb the sauce beautifully while staying al dente.
- Chicken or Tofu: Choose succulent strips of free-range chicken breast or marinated tofu for a plant-based option.
- Crisp Vegetables: Sliced carrots, bell peppers, onions, spring onions, and bean sprouts add color, crunch, and nutrients.
- Signature Sauce: A balanced blend of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a hint of palm sugar creates sweet-savory depth with a touch of chili heat.
How We Prepare Pad WoonSen
- Pre-soak & Blanch Noodles: Briefly soak glass noodles in warm water for perfect springiness.
