This signature noodle dish of Thailand is deliciously sweet, sour, hot and crunchy. You can easily prepare this at home using Nonya Secrets Surani Sauce as a base for the chilli mix with its tangy tamarind and chilli flavours. The crunch comes from peanuts and pickled or preserved radish which can be found in any Chinese or Thai supermarket.
