Wide rice noodles. If you've ever tried to make pad kee mao (drunken noodle) with dried rice noodles you know it's essentially not even worth it. The noodles are too important to the dish and the dried ones curl up and are just awful. My wife and I eventually figured out how to make fresh wide rice noodles and while it's very simple to do so (rice flour slurry into a cake pan, steam it) it's very laborious and time intensive. I'll do some laborious stuff (bake my own bread, homemade yogurt and soft cheese, pasta and red sauce etc) but damn if one of my favorite foods isn't too much work for all but special occasions.

Thank god we found a place a mile away that sells fresh noodles. Now we can have it whenever we want.
