rad na : stir fried wide rice noodle with pork gravy sauce and Chinese broccoli

            This is my favorite all time noodle dishes.  Actually this dish is Thai-Chinese dish.  For this recipe it is very popular in Thailand called “rad nay yod puk” or in Thai meaning stir fried wide rice noodle with pork gravy sauce and Chinese broccoli.  For this recipe I recommend just pork, because it is the best to marinate with this recipe, but if you want to use chicken or beef or seafood you don’t need to marinate, but trust me pork is the best!!  For cooking instructions you will have 3 cooking parts first is for noodle, 2nd is Chinese broccoli and last but not least is the pork gravy  served by laying noodle on the bottom and adding Chinese broccoli and topped with pork gravy.  This tastes not spicy and it is really good.  You can use thin rice noodle or crunchy noodle instead of wide rice noodle.
In Thailand when we always serve a noodle dish with fish sauce, dry chili pepper, vinegar, and sugar along the side for seasoning the dish in the way you like.  Because Thai people believe that difference people have different tastes.  Now it’s time to cook!!!
