Pud Woon Sen (Mungbean Noodles with Preserved Radish)

Pad Woon Sen

Hey there! I have always wanted to cook food using this delicious Preserved Chinese Radish! When I was in San Francisco, I tried this menu at a Thai restaurant and got addicted to it that I have to cook it by myself. This recipe does not contain meat, so it is very good for people who loves eating vegetarian food. For meat lovers, this is also a new dish for them to try. I promise that this easy recipe is as good as the meat menu!!! Let's try it!

Looks good huh! hahaha

Ingredients

a small portion                Mungbean noodles

                                        Shiitake mushrooms

2                                      Eggs

3 small pieces                  Garlic  

a small portion                 Preserved Chinese Radish                   

2 1/2 table spoons           Sugar

2 table spoons                 Soy sauce

1/3 table spoon                Black soy sauce

Step-By-Step Recipe

1. Put and rest Mungbean Noodles in water until it is soften. It will probably takes about 10-15 min

2. Wash preserved Chinese Radish in water and squeeze water out of it until the color changes to be pale. This is to get rid of the salt that comes with it, which might make your food becomes too salty.

3. In a pan, put some vegetable oil and fry it with chopped garlic, preserved Chinese radish, and all SUGAR until the garlic is a little bit cooked. By doing this, the radish will get a little bit sweet, instead of salty

4. Add mushrooms and stir fry until the mushrooms starts to smell nice
    Make a space in the middle of the pan
    Put 2 eggs and wait until 70 percent is cooked

 
5. Stir the eggs 

6. Put the Mungbean Noodles
    On top of noodles, put soy sauce and black soy sauce

7. Stir-fry until everything is well blend.
    Then, it is ready to be served!!!!!

Just want to update about myself. I just changed my hair color!!!! It's a little bit red now. Is it good or not? hahahaha

Diet Plan and Tips

How to Lose Weight

Hi everyone, I just got back from my spring break trip, San Francisco. I love the city so much because there are so many great Thai restaurant over there (more than in Boston). Well...It turns out that I've been eating too much. Hahaha.....
I think it is time for me to lose some weight and get in shape, so here is the diet plan I used to try and it worked! I will have to repeat this again.




PS: You will definitely lose couple of kilos after following the plan for 2 weeks. However, from my experience, I prevent myself from 'yo-yo' effect by adapting my eating habit to be healthier by eating more vegetable and fruits and drinking 1.5 liter of water per day in order to maintain the weight!


This Formula come with Soup recipe that you have to cook. You can eat this soup anytime when you feel hungry, except for the first day of the plan.

Ingredient
celery                 1
cabbage             1
onion                 6
sweet pepper     2
tomatoes            4   
soy sauce
pepper
salt
PS: Keep tasting your soup as you add more ingredient until you are satisfied.

Diet Plan
Day 1: Eat only non-sweet Fruits such as green apple, water melon, melon, and guava

Day 2: Eat only Vegetable, NO Fruits. Vegetable could be cooked in many ways, such as stir-fried vegetable, vegetable clear soup (suki), and salad

Day 3: Eat both Fruits and Vegetable

Day 4: Eat 3 Bananas and non-fat milk (1 banana and milk for one meal)

Day 5: Eat 10-20 grams of White Meat (grilled, saute', and boiled) + 6 Tomatoes.

Day 6: Can choose meat out of the following choices (Fish, Chicken, Seafood, Pork) served with salads of your choice. Avoid deep fried meat.

Day 7: Eat Brown Rice + Vegetable, no fruits nor meat.

**After the 7th day, you can repeat the plan from the day 1, in order to lose more weight**
***During the plan, NO Alcohol and sweeten soft drinks***

I will also post Thai vegetable recipe and step-by-step methods, so you can still enjoy delicious Thai food, while you are on diet!!!! Keep checking my blog!
