Noodles In Gravy Thai called "Rad Nah" is one of Thai street food. It is made with stir-fried wide rice noodles, a form of meat such as chicken, beef, pork, seafood or tofu and Kale. The dish is then covered in a gravy made of stock and tapioca starch or cornstarch. It is seasoned with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and pepper. This dish is topped with chicken, kale and carrot. This plate I do add carrot for seasons of color. Green of kale and orange of carrot make this plate looking so good…hihihihi…;P
