How to make Rad Na

Why cooks start here

Rad Na is cooked the way noodle shops cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a thai family cook actually puts it on the table.

Rad Na is a beloved street food classic that finds its roots in Thai-Chinese cuisine, frequently enjoyed in bustling noodle shops. It's a dish prepared and eaten throughout the day, seamlessly transitioning from a quick lunch option to a comforting dinner. This version captures the essence of home cooking, with adjustments made by hand and instinct, just as a Thai family would. The dish is a harmonious blend of tender pork, fresh rice noodles, and crisp Chinese broccoli, all enveloped in a silky soy sauce gravy. Its texture is both comforting and luxurious, with a savory depth that invites you to savor each bite. Generosity with salt and fat is key, making every mouthful rich and satisfying.
