ohn no khao swe

Myanmar (Burma) · Southeast Asia

Short description: This noodle soup is creamy but balanced, with tender chicken, coconut broth, citrus, and crisp garnishes.
Ingredients: Wheat noodles in coconut chicken broth with chickpea flour, onion, garlic, turmeric, lime, and crunchy toppings.
Cultural note: It is often finished at the table with condiments, letting each bowl shift toward richer, sharper, or crunchier flavors.
Common misconception: It is not simply curry over noodles; the broth is a soup with its own balance of coconut, chicken, and aromatics.
