Glass Noodle Salad (Laab Woonsen) ลาบวุ้นเส้น - Thai Recipe

A different variety of glass noodle salad you may have never seen before! "Laab" is a type of Thai salad that's tart, spicy, and refreshing. Normally laab is made using ground meat, but this version also includes glass noodles. Toasted rice powder gives it a unique flavour, and lots of fresh herbs like mint and cilantro keep it light and healthy. Super easy and quick, a great side dish to some grilled meats, or enjoy it on its own for a light lunch!

Hello Pailin, Im living in korea and dont have my jasmine or my lao sticky rice i used to make the toasted rice powder is korean glutinous rice? Okay for substitution

[@brianlawson363]

I feel that there is NO other dish that defines the Thai salad in the same way as Laab. It is the very first dish I had when I was in Thailand in 1985. We lived in Korat, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok and I feel that Thai food is without peer. Thank you for making this cuisine approachable and inviting.

[@seasonsunite]

Yes!!! Classic and delicious! This is why Hot Thai Kitchen is number one!

[@jeffwatkins352]

Wonderful! Laab is my favorite Thai dish...well, along with Tom Ka Kai and Massaman. I'd never been exposed to the glass noodle variant, and this looks SO easy to make! Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!!! BTW, I once had a regular Laab serviced with fresh cut chilies sliced into tiny pieces. That was divine, too!

[@peterstang]

Wonderful side dish full of flavour. Thank you very much.

[@EugeneChanYK]

Laab is hands down my favourite Thai food :)

[@ruedersculinaryinstitute9468]

I have put it in a spring roll. With a little less noodles. Great combo!

[@lyvang10]

Yum! That looks so good pai!!!

[@hyacinth4007]

Love your recipes. We have quite a few Thai restaurants here in Australia but they can’t seem to capture that fresh taste of home made. I think everything is dumbed down for the western palate.

[@SooTasty]

Glass noodle salad is always my favorite. I make it when I'm on my low-carb day. But I never ever know the existence of the toasted rice powder in this dish. I have to try it next week. Thanks for the amazing recipe.

[@zeedevil4409]

[@andrewlloyd1982]

Hey, I'm early for a delicious dish

[@westwardpomonagyrl4358]

Awww this is before the 🥟Dumpling.

[@tonyandrus6432]

I agree, Laab certainly best represents Thai food. I often have to make myself order something different when I go to a Thai restaurant because I'm always getting the Laab.... 😁

[@thonau8030]

Good recipe, the theme is kinda like chapjae in Korean. But most impotantly, Pai, u look so happy!

[@leandrocatamio4537]

I like it

[@HaibTshajHaib]

I like the dish too.

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

[@daque1960]

Now I’m hungry. I’m always hungry thigh... all the best.

[@BOBPEPPER]

Nice one

[@snowmembe]

Yes!!! Yummy yummy! 🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻

[@chivyp]

Oooh I see the new camera angle, very nice. Seems similar to Yum Woon Sen with the addition of rice powder. Yummm! Yum is my favorite dish to make since it’s so easy lol I’ve added fermented fish to the dressing and it’s so amazing!

[@robinadaud5801]

Coming to Thailand tomorrow, will reach there around 4 o'clock.

[@sgr7565]

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ! The coming back. I've already cooked Yam woon sen and laab moo and they're both wonderful and reminds good holidays in Thailand (i bought the rice powder at asian grocery though), i will try this one, i'm sure it is equally good ! (will try to refrain to add fish sauce, lime juice in it ^^)

[@TheYellowGummyBears]

Always killing it with the recipes!!

[@karthikavlogs9356]

Nice

[@yanjijay6752]

🤤😋 that looks so delicious and yummy do or can you make a sour fungus salad similar to this but with sour nomtok sausage.

[@malazmi84]

[@coralinealgae]

Could you please add the pot from this video to your list of equipment you use on your site? It looks like a good one.

[@leester9487]

Your small utensil thing is adorable. The DI ORO silicone utensils are awesome, BTW. I know its not authentic, but I put ginger in my Laab.

[@Walaiwan702]

Lol I do the same, just because I have it and I like it 😊

[@jamich5]

You are fantastic

[@olivierparis6544]

"we sacrifice for cuteness"

[@mchaoster66]

Can't agree more

[@nenylei1422]

I always love seeing your videos!! I want to eat healthier and simpler for myself and my family, and you always provide great recipes! This one looks so delicious. Wish your baby boy is growing preciously. 🙏🙏👍👍😍😍

[@SushimaruRen]

glass noodle made from mung bean is not that common here in indonesia. but i made your version of yum woon sen with glass noodle made from corn. it tasted amazing 😍

[@KouluKoti]

Happy mum soon

[@UB2004]

Love this dish... Will try a vegetarian version by replacing pork with tofu!

[@cozyvamp]

This is very similar to a salad we used to make when I was younger. It was based on leftover salmon and had baby peas in it. The biggest difference was the toasted rice powder. We didn't even know what that was back then. I'm going to have to give this a try one of these days when I'm eating alone -- no one I know these days likes the glass-type noodles but me. Thanks!

[@JETeva]

Hi Pai! Such a lovely and informative video as always. So my question is: for the rice, you only roasted and it is edible that way? I've always boiled/properly cooked my rice so this is new to me :D I love you videos so much, please keep going!

[@natt2511]

Hello Jenny. I am a Thai so I can answer your question. The role of the roasted rice is different to the water-cooked white rice you are familiar with. For the white rice in a bowl or a plate we, Asians, eat regularly, it's the main source of carbohydrate and eaten with other dishes: soup, curry, stir-fried etc. For the roasted rice in this Laab dish, it essentially gives the unique character to the dish. Its smell and crispy texture in your mount when chewing are so unique. Like Pai said, without this roasted and ground rice, Laab would never be Laab.

[@malazmi84]

We called that sotanghon in the Philippines

[@simbatran]

I really really love this dish! I’m going to Bangkok next month April 20, do you where is the best place for Isaan food?

[@simbatran]

I just saw another video from Mark Weins and he said the best Isaan restaurant is Som Tam Jay So (ร้านส้มตำเจ๊โส) is one of the best restaurant to eat at.

[@cheftekard7165]

Looks amazing! What’s the difference between laab woon sen and yum woon sen? :)

[@Cathy.C.]

Might try this using Dangmyun (sweet potato vermicelli) as I have that already. Looks good!

[@knappiegolden9318]

Can't wait to make. Can this be made ahead?

[@Doughnutthanwarin]

Melissa Golden this type of dish that has mung bean noodles involved, you don’t want to make them far in advance. The noodles will become tasteless and they’ll absorb all the liquid, makes it dry and not as pleasant to eat. However, you can serve it cold.
