Yum Woonsen (ยําวุ้นเส้น)
Today recipe is Yum Woonsen (Spicy glass noodles salad, ยำวุ้นเส้น). This tasty spicy noodles salad was a favorite and a staple when I lived in Bangkok. It is very easy to make and always requested by my family. This salad makes the meal and sometimes --it is the meal depending on how much are you hungry.
I am pretty sure you have tried glass noodles, the main ingredient of this salad, somewhere and if you have, I am sure you love them. For me, I really love the texture of these noodles-- they are chewy, slippery smooth. I used them frequently in stir fry, salad and noodles dishes. In Tokyo, these glass noodles aren't hard to find, I usually found them in most local supermarkets, so they are a staple in my pantry.
It only takes a couple of minutes to whip up this tasty Yum Woonsen and a trip to Asian supermarket will enable you to get the rest of ingredients: fish sauce, lime, chilies, roasted peanuts. Below is my Yum Woonsen (Spicy glass noodles salad, ยำวุ้นเส้น)recipe.
