Noodles

While the noontime meal for most Burmese is centered around rice, many people eat noodles at other times of day. The best-known Burmese noodle dish is mohinga, a breakfast favorite that comes in many versions.

Other delectable noodle dishes include Mandalay Noodles with Chicken Curry and the coconut-sauced noodle dish called ohn-no khaut swe. My personal favorites are the Shan noodles with a tomato-y pork sauce and the egg noodles with coconut milk and pork, called swe daung khaut swe (pronounced “sway dong kao sway”).
