You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.”
There are quite a few recipes out there for Pad Woon Sen, but the basic ingredients are cellophane noodles, eggs, onions, carrots, mushrooms, protein, and fish sauce. We started with the following recipe from the Thai Kitchen and added a few vegetables we like best. The savory, salty seasoning paired with smooth noodles and soft vegetables makes for a great, healthy meal. The possibilities are endless!
This recipe couldn’t be easier. You just toss the cucumbers in salt, let them sit for 5 or 10 minutes, then gently squeeze out the excess water. Then you mix the cucumber slices in a fragrant blend of sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.
