Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable, peanut, coconut, grapeseed, or soybean oil
- 8 oz dried angel hair vermicelli rice noodles. Wai Wai brand is my go-to.
- 2 cup bean sprouts, wash and let sit
- 1 cup green onion chopped 1 1/2 inch long
- 4 tbsp sweet dark soy sauce
- 3 tbsp seasoning sauce
- 3 tbsp thin soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- 1
Soak the vermicelli rice noodles in warm water in a large bowl for 10 minutes. Or cold water for 15- 20 minutes.
- 2
Drain and cut the noodles into 6-8 inches long and let sit until it's time to cook. Leave the noodles long for more fun and full texture. My kids love slurping them like spaghetti noodles with longer pieces.

In a small bowl, combine all the sauces in a small saucepan using thin soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, sugar and golden mountain seasoning.
- 4
Place the drain noodles in a large bowl, then pour the sauce mixture over the rice noodles.

Use your hands (gloved if preferred) to mix the sauce into the noodles. Knead very lightly to get the sauce to marinate with the noodles. Let sit to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes and stir quickly before cooking, breaking up any large clumps of noodles.

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet on medium heat. Add the noodles and stir with a wooden spatula for 5-6 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add some water if the noodles are sticking to your pan. Turn the heat down slightly if your wok or pan gets hot too. An extra teaspoon of oil also helps to loosen up the noodles in the pan.

Add the green onions and bean sprouts and stir together lightly. Turn the heat off, remove the pan from the stovetop, and serve your Pad Mee! Garnish with a lime wedge, chili powder, and or fish sauce or sugar.
