This amazing Pad Woon Sen recipe is surprisingly easy to make at home in under 30 minutes. It’s a Thai stir-fried noodle dish made with glass noodles, proteins, and veggies tossed in a savory and slightly sweet pad woon sen sauce. It tastes like it came from your favorite Thai restaurant.
Pad Woon Sen is what I would consider Thai fast food, along with all of our favorite Thai noodle dishes like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew.
It’s a Thai noodle dish that’s total comfort food. It’s made with glass noodles, some type of protein (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, tofu, etc.), vegetables, and eggs.
Glass Noodle Stir Fry
Pad Woon Sen is traditionally made with glass noodles, which are also known as cellophane noodles, fensi, or bean thread noodles. They magically turn clear like glass once cooked. It’s made of mung bean or green pea flour, so they’re gluten-free. You can find them at most Asian grocery stores or order them online from Amazon.
I used eggs and chicken in this recipe, but feel free to use other types of protein like pork, beef, or shrimp.
I went classic and included onions, cabbage, tomatoes, and carrots in this recipe. But feel free to add any other veggies you like.

6. Stir fry everything together: Add chicken back to the skillet, and then add noodles and the sauce. Stir fry until the noodles are soft and everything’s coated with the sauce. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and mix gently.
Pad Woon Sen is not as popular as Pad Thai or Pad See Ew but is equally delicious. It’s made of smooth and silky glass noodles (also known as cellophane noodles or mung bean noodles) stir-fried with vegetables and proteins.
The regular Pad Woon Sen is not gluten-free, but if you substitute with gluten-free fish sauce, and gluten-free soy sauce, you can make this dish gluten-free.

When it comes to Thai food, there are a lot of amazing noodle dishes to choose from, the popular ones like Pad Thai to Pad Kee Mao (better known as Drunken Noodles) but most people overlook a very simple and delicious noodle dish called Pad Woon Sen.
If you never heard of Pad woon sen, it is a delicious savory Thai noodle dish made with stir-fried glass noodles, scrambled eggs, vegetables, and meat. Similar to other glass noodle recipes like japchae and yum woon sen, this one is known for its wonderfully chewy texture as well!
I personally like to make this with only vegetables and eggs because it is quick and easy but this is a very versatile noodle dish and can be easily made with meat and leftovers as well.
Pad Woon Sen Thai Glass Noodle Stir Fry
Pad woon sen is made with chewy mung bean noodles (which are also known as bean thread noodles, cellophane noodles, or glass noodles.)
Some bean thread noodles have a mix of mung bean starch with another starch (potato starch, pea starch, etc). I found that noodles with a mix of mung bean starch and pea starch make the chewiest noodles and generally have a better texture.
It is similar to the Korean sweet potato glass noodles used in Japchae but a lot thinner and it cooks a lot quicker.
The Best Pad Woon Sen (thai Glass Noodles) Recipe
You can find these noodles at any Asian grocery store. When you are shopping for these glass noodles, they may be labeled as vermicelli - make sure there is mung bean starch in the ingredient list and not rice. The noodles should be bright white in color and very thin.
When you are shopping for noodles, look for mung bean noodles. They will sometimes say vermicelli on the packaging but make sure the ingredient contains mung bean starch or mung beans and not rice. I go into detail about the difference between vermicelli and mung bean noodles in the post above.
The main differences are, pad thai uses rice noodles, pad woon sen uses mung bean noodles, and pad thai sauce is a balance of sweet/sour/savory whereas pad woon sen's sauce is savory.

When cooked, mung bean noodles can be tacky in texture. I like to add a bit of oil into the sauce, so that the oil coats the noodles and gives it a smoother mouth-feel.

Once they are cooked, you’ll be able to see that the rice vermicelli is white and opaque, while glass noodles are more transparent.
You’ll also notice a difference in textures between those two types of noodles. Glass noodles are slightly smoother and more starchy than rice vermicelli. It is very similar to the sweet potato starch noodles used in Japchae, only thinner.
Keep them soaking in the water until just before you start cooking. Drain the noodles using a colander or strainer just before you fire up the wok.

Next, prepare the sauce by combining 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a dash of ground white pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the wok, and let it sit for about 30 seconds untouched.
Then, scramble the eggs using your wok spatula. I prefer larger pieces of scrambled eggs, but you may certainly keep breaking it up into smaller pieces if you prefer. Remove the scrambled eggs from the wok and set them aside.
