Stir-fried glass noodles (pad woon sen)

Pad Woon Sen is a stir-fried glass vermicelli noodles with eggs, meat, seafood and vegetables. 

This dish is very popular at Thai restaurants and you can find it any where in Thailand. 

The dish is not spicy and very tasty but it can also be made spicy

The dish is low- in carb because Woon-Sen or mung bean noodle is made from mung bean that has protein in it and not carbohydrate like rice noodle or pasta.

Mung bean noodle are called clear noodle or glass noodle because the noodle itself is clear in color just like glass. It has very little taste by itself, but absorbs sauce and water very well.
