Shan noodles

Myanmar (Burma) · Southeast Asia

Short description: These noodles can be served dry or with broth, but the tomato-rich meat sauce is the key cue.
Ingredients: Rice noodles with a tomato-chile meat sauce, aromatics, scallions, and often pickled greens or broth.
Cultural note: The dish is associated with an upland food tradition that became popular far beyond its home region through teashops and noodle stalls.
Common misconception: They are not usually a coconut curry noodle soup; the sauce is tomato-forward and can be served nearly dry.
