num banh chok

Short description: This noodle dish is built around fresh rice noodles and an herb-heavy fish gravy poured over crisp garnishes.
Ingredients: Fresh rice noodles with fish gravy, lemongrass, lime leaf, turmeric, coconut milk, vegetables, and herbs.
Cultural note: It is commonly eaten in the morning and is also sold by vendors, with regional versions changing the gravy and garnish mix.
Common misconception: It is not simply a curry soup; the fresh noodles and raw vegetable-herb toppings are central to the dish.
