Rat Na - Fried flat noodles with gravy

The history of Rat Na
Rat Na is a popular street food that can be found in many restaurants and for sale at street vendor stalls throughout Thailand. Rat Na is made by stir-frying wide rice noodles with meat, vegetables, and a sauce. The ingredients can be varied depending on personal preferences and regional variations. Rat Na was originally cooked in China and prepared only in high-end restaurants where it became very successful. Teochew people (Chinese people native to the Chaoshan region) began cooking and selling it to working-class people as it was quick to make and filling which helped its popularity and spread to Thailand. The dish has since become a staple of Thai cuisine.
