Rad Na
Report
Rad Na is a beloved Thai-Chinese noodle dish. My easy and authentic Rad Na recipe combines soft, flat rice noodles with crisp vegetables, succulent chicken, and juicy shrimp, all bathed in a flavorful sauce. It’s a must-try dish!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs (700g) fresh wide rice noodles loosened
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon Sweet soy sauce Kecap Manis
Cornstarch Slurry:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Other Ingredients:
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 oz (60g) chicken cut into thin slices
- 6 to 8 medium-sized shrimp shelled and deveined, but leave tail intact
- 1/2 tablespoon taucheo preserved soy beans
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar or to taste
- 2 oz (60g) Chinese gailan or kailan cut into 2-inch/5-cm lengths
- 2 dashes ground white pepper for serving
Instructions
- Loosen the flat rice noodles with your hands and set them aside.
- Prepare the Cornstarch Slurry by mixing cornstarch with water. Stir until well combined and set aside.
- Heat a wok with 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the rice noodles and give them a few quick stirs before adding the sweet soy sauce. Use a spatula to stir the noodles vigorously, ensuring the sauce is evenly distributed. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles start to clump together and are slightly browned. Set them aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok and heat it up. Sauté the garlic until it is light brown and aromatic, then add the chicken and shrimp. Stir-fry the ingredients until they turn white on the surface, then add the taucheo (preserved soy beans).
- Stir a few more times before adding the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and kailan. Bring the sauce to a boil, then thicken it with the cornstarch slurry. Once the sauce is thick and gooey, turn off the heat.
- On a serving plate, place a portion of the fried rice noodles and pour the sauce over the top. Add an even distribution of chicken, shrimp, and vegetables. Sprinkle a dash of ground white pepper over the Rad Na noodles before serving. Rad Na is excellent with a side of pickled green chilies or sliced Thai chilies.
Notes
- The flat rice noodles used in Rad Na are wider than standard noodles. I usually buy fresh rice noodle sheets and cut them into about 1 1/2-inch wide strips, peeling them off sheet by sheet before cooking. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-cut flat rice noodles.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh flat rice noodles, vegetables, chicken and shrimp. Even though you can make this dish with dried rice noodles, fresh noodles make it so much more vibrant and delicious, just like how it's made in Thailand.
- Taste as You Go: When making the sauce, continuously taste the gravy as it cooks to adjust seasoning and flavors. This helps you achieve the perfect balance and avoid over-seasoning.
- Prep in Advance: Prepare and measure all your ingredients before you start cooking. This ensures you have everything you need and helps prevent last-minute scrambling.
