Raad Na (Wide Rice Noodles with Gravy)

Raad Na is a delicious noodle dish made with ribbons of wide rice noodles, oyster sauce, chicken and vegetables. It has its roots in Chinese cooking and has a similar thickness to the sauce and flavour that is typical of chinese cooking.

The name “Raad Na” means “to pour on the face” in Thai. This is because the sauce is usually poured onto the face of the noodles.
