Food

Pad Woon Sen — Glass Noodle Stir-Fry

Updated 2026 · Totally Bangkok

A lighter, gluten-free alternative to pad thai using transparent mung bean noodles.

What it is

Glass noodles (woon sen) stir-fried with egg, vegetables, spring onion, and your choice of protein — lighter than rice or egg noodle dishes.

Why it works

Glass noodles absorb sauce without becoming heavy; the texture is silky and slightly chewy; naturally gluten-free.

Ordered how

Same stall as pad thai — specify woon sen instead of sen lek; protein options usually pork, chicken, shrimp, or mixed seafood.

Price

40–80 THB at street stalls; rarely on tourist menus explicitly but most stalls make it on request.
