What are “stir-fried noodles” in Thai cuisine?
When it comes to Thai noodles, most of them would be classified as stir-fried noodles, noodle soups, or noodles with sauce poured on top. But sautéed noodles, or guay tieklook Thai mixed noodles are relatively new on the Thai culinary scene, but they’ve taken social media by storm because the preparation process simply looks appetizing.
They’re a variation of our noodle soups, meaning the ingredients involved are similar to classic Thai tom yum noodles, but instead of broth, all the components are tossed in a flavorful sauce.
Since this is a new dish, there is no “traditional” way to make it. People are simply taking the idea and making up their own sauce blends. So this recipe is my version which in my opinion is the bomb. Feel free to make up your own sauce too!
