Rad Na

About

Rad Na, also known as Lad Na, is a popular Thai dish that features stir-fried flat rice noodles served with a savory gravy. The noodles are typically made from rice flour and are known for their chewy texture. The dish can be made with various proteins such as beef, pork, chicken, or tofu, offering versatility for different tastes. The gravy is a key component, often made with a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and stock, which gives it a rich and slightly sweet flavor. In traditional Thai cuisine, Rad Na is often served with Chinese broccoli (gai lan) and sometimes other vegetables like baby corn. The dish is commonly found in street food stalls and markets throughout Thailand. It is a comfort food that is both easy to make and satisfying to eat. The use of dark soy sauce during the stir-frying process adds a distinct color and flavor to the noodles. While Rad Na may not be as widely recognized internationally as other Thai dishes like Pad Thai, it remains a beloved local favorite.
