Phad Radna Talay (Guay Treow Radna) Recipe
Guay Treow dishes are common as ‘hawker’ or street food that is readily available all over Thailand as well as most South East Asian countries. This street food is often very inexpensive and always freshly prepared for you.
This dish can be fixed fairly bland, but there is always an assortment of ground roasted chiles, fresh chiles in fish sauce (nam plah phrik), various sauces and condiments for the diner to customize the taste to their palate.
This version assumes that you already have a somewhat advanced Thai palate and includes many of the optional spices as a part of the recipe. You can adjust the amount of chiles to your preferred heat level. We love hot and spicy so we would add more roasted chile than called for in my given recipe. Just remember it is easy to add more chile, but difficult to mellow out a fiery dish for a "whimpy" palate.

Directions
Soak the noodles in hot water to soften them – about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water to prevent the noodles from sticking together in clumps.
Add a small amount of peanut oil to a wok (spun steel over gas is best) and heat until just smoking, add sliced garlic, diced baby ginger, dried or fresh Thai Chiles and then cabbage, stir fry lightly.
Add an additional small amount of peanut oil to the wok and heat if needed and add the tofu if using, stir-fry to lightly brown.
Add scallops, crab legs, shrimp, and calamari, sprinkle generously with ground white pepper over all-and carefully fry until just browned, turning once or twice (about 2- 5 minutes). Don't over -cook!
Then add sauce ingredients: Golden Mountain Sauce Sauce, Thai Dark Sweet Soy Sauce, Fish Sauce, rice flour (mixed in a little water), Kaffir Lime, Thai Basil, add rice noodles and carefully incorporate using a pasta fork to be sure the noodles don’t break or become mushy. Add ground Thai roasted chiles to taste.
Serve on plates or shallow bowls - garnish with slivers of green onions and Thai Basil leaves, and or crisp fried shallots.
Note: If you prefer you can fry or grill the seafood separately and add to the noodles as a garnish which makes for a dramatic presentation.

You can also make this a “soupy” dish using more broth. I like it both ways as a drier noodle dish or as a soupy dish. I recently ate Phad Radnay Gai (using chicken) at a restaurant along Sukhimvit in Bangkok. It is the perfect comfort food if made mild for touchy tummies, as mine was after a serious bout with "Phnom Penh Plague".
