In Thailand noodles are usually served at lunch. Busy vendors sell delicious noodle dishes on the streets all over Thailand. The noodles are not cut because long noodles are a sign of good luck. Noodles made of rice are popular in Thailand and can be added to soups or to stir-fried, steamed, or simmered dishes, including curries. Very thin egg noodles are also eaten, as are cellophane noodles, which are made from mung beans. Noodles provide the something soft and something bland that balance the crunchy and/or spicy foods in the Thai kitchen. Noodles work well in many foods, such as Thai spring rolls (recipe on pages 58–59). Pineapple-fish noodles (recipe on page 37) are made of two of Thailand’s most popular foods: pineapples and fish. Many different types of fish may be used in this dish to add variety.
