Pad Moon Sen Is Not Yum Woon Sen
This recipe is not to be confused with Yum Woon Sen, an absolute Thai favorite and with a completely different taste. Pad means fried, and these glass noodles are fried. Pad Woon Sen is also delicious and we recommend you try some when you get the chance! Please don’t confuse the two though!
