Jade Noodles

📍 Los Angeles Thai $

at Sapp Coffee Shop

"Jade noodles are spinach noodles in a clear broth with pork and shrimp. The green color comes from spinach juice in the dough — this is not a visual trick, it is a flavor note. The broth is lighter than the boat noodle broth, which makes it a different dish, not a lesser one."

"The clear broth is pork and chicken base — clean, savory, with a natural sweetness from the vegetables. The spinach noodles have a slightly different chew than wheat noodles, which requires an adjustment period. Once adjusted, the dish is satisfying in a way that lighter broth dishes can be."
