Khao suey, is a Burmese coconut soup filled with veggies that is served on top of noodles. Topped with soo many delicious toppings! It’s Burmese version of ramen. If y’all have never had Burmese food, you are in for a treat! I first had Burmese food when I was visiting SF, one of the BEST food we had in SF was at Burma Superstar. It is actually similar to Indian cooking as far as spices go. They use a lot of turmeric and I’m not mad about it, because turmeric is life.
You can use ready made fried onions (which is what I’m doing). You can also use ready made fried garlic, I actually just fried my own. The chili onion crunch from Trader Joe’s is ABSOLUTELY delicious on this, so if you can get your hands on it.. I HIGHLY recommend it. Use any noodles you have on hand, I’m using Ching’s hakka noodles.
I hope y’all enjoy my version of Khao suey. Slurp away! Don’t forget to tag me @zheelicious and let me know what you think.
Stay happy, stay hungry!
