Pad Woon Cent – Glass Noodle Stir Fry

Now this is a perfect busy mid-week recipe, great to pack with you for lunch or a no-fuss simple dinner. Pad woon cent, this Thai glass noodle stir-fry, is an easy one-pan dish. I would definitely recommend making this in a large wok if you have one. The benefit of cooking with a large wok is that different areas of the wok surface can reach different temperatures depending on how you position it over the flame. That comes in handy when preparing this easy Thai glass noodle stir-fry step by step. You can introduce an ingredient to the hottest parts of the wok, then scoot them to the side to finish cooking while you move onto the next thing, just like how I moved the chicken, cabbage, and onion to the side to get the eggs going. I hope that makes sense! You totally got this.
