An ideal dish to be prepared on a monsoon day, Burmese Khow Suey is a one-pot meal. Rice noodles and veggies in mildly flavoured coconut milk make a hearty meal. Burmese enjoy their khow suey with beef or chicken also.
In the given recipe I have used rice vermicelli in place of rice noodles. Coconut milk, spring onions and a lemon wedge are must haves for this dish to get that authentic taste and consistency. I have tried preparing it with fish too. It comes out really good.
Serve the noodles in individual bowls. Top it with the curry or soup just before serving. It is advisable to not to premix the noodles and curry, as the noodles tend to absorb the curry, making the dish dry.
Burmese Khow suey, so simple to prepare and quick too. This is a basic recipe for the Khow Suey. Add colourful veggies or your favourite meat if you like.
Do prepare this flavourful dish. It is definitely worth a try and I am sure you are going to be hooked on to it.
