Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy (I live in the
Portland Metro area of Oregon) or order (online, etc.) Sen Yai noodles
(wide rice noodles).

Thanks!

Just about any large supermarket, and certainly any Asian market. They
may not be labeled sen yai but they are the same thing under various
names. -aem

From http://www.foodsubs.com/NoodlesRice.html:

Thai flat rice sticks = Mekong rice stick = ban pho (Vietnamese) = banh
pho (Vietnamese) = ho fun (Chinese) = hor fun (Chinese) = haw fun
(Chinese) = lai fen (Chinese) = laifen (Chinese) = sen lek (Thai) =
kway teow (Malaysian) = kway tio (Malaysian) = gway tio (Malaysian) =
kui teow (Malaysian) = kuey teow (Malaysian) Notes: These rice
noodles are especially popular in Southeast Asia. They come in
different widths; the thinner ones are best for soups, the wider ones
for stir-fries. Before using, rice sticks should be soaked in hot
water until they're soft and transparent. They can then be used in
soups, or add along with some broth to stir-fries. Substitutes: wide
rice noodles OR rice vermicelli OR fettuccine OR bean threads OR somen

aem,

Now you're speaking MY language. I used to have so much fun homemaking my
own! *sigh*

Great reply, BTW!

Since fettuccine is a wheat noodle it will give a different result. The
bean thread noodles do give a similar result.

Isn't there a branch of Uwajimaya or 99 Ranch in the area? Any good-
sized Asian grocery should have them. Failing that, there's always
www.uwajimaya.com

Thanks for the replies everyone, but I'm actually trying to figure out
how to get FRESH sen yai noodles (not the dried packaged stuff... I've
already seen that stuff in the market). I should have been more
specific to being with, sorry. I asked the Thai restaruant that I go
to where they get it, and they order it from Thailand, so I'm just
wondering if there's somone place online where I can get it easily. Or
even better if there's someone out there who's familiar with the
Portland Metro area that knows of somewhere that makes it (i.e. Maybe
there's somewhere in Chinatown that sells something similar, like Chow
fun noodles?).

I seriously doubt that the noodles the restaurant orders from Thailand
are FRESH in any way. You think they charter a SST to bring the
goodies for a $3 dish? And you couldn't distinguish the fresh from the
dried anyway, after cooking. There are lots of other kinds of noodles,
such as the chow fun noodles you mention that can be found fresh at
Asian markets. Actually, chow fun noodles would probably be your best
bet. You can often buy them in big sheets, which would let you cut
them to the width you like. No way will you find them in a roundeye
supermarket. -aem

I repeat, try the Uwajimaya store in Beaverton. I was at the Seattle
store today and they had a plethora of fresh rice noodles in the
refrigerated case.
