Delicious Rad Na in Nan Province

Delicious Rad Na in Nan Province: A must-try culinary journey when visiting

When talking about Nan Province, many people think of the peaceful old town atmosphere, lush green mountain views, and beautiful ancient temples. But for mr.hotsia, Nan has another hidden charm not to be missed: the incredibly delicious "Rad Na" recipe that must be shared.

The last time mr.hotsia had the chance to visit Nan Province, strolling through the old market and Thung Chang Market while filming the local lifestyle in this small town, one thing that caught both the eye and palate was the fragrant aroma of Rad Na from a roadside stall near the market. It looked simple but the taste was extraordinary.

The Specialty of Rad Na in Nan

Rad Na in Nan is unlike the usual Rad Na found in Bangkok or central Thailand. Here, thin egg noodles are stir-fried with garlic oil until fragrant before being topped with a rich broth simmered to perfection, blending the aroma of pork bones and dark soy sauce harmoniously. The sauce is thick just right, neither greasy nor overly sweet, as if mr.hotsia is enjoying Rad Na carefully crafted by local villagers.

The pork in the Rad Na is another highlight not to be overlooked. Thick pork slices are marinated with spices and stir-fried until perfectly cooked—neither tough nor dry. Some stalls even serve crispy squid or freshly fried sunny-side-up eggs on the side. This Rad Na becomes a complete meal and a memorable experience for visitors.
