Where to purchase Thai Sen Yai (wide rice) noodles

[simple...@gmail.com]

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!

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-

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 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.
