Khow Suey is a traditional Burmese dish that is a rich and flavorful combination of noodles, chicken, and a coconut-based curry sauce. It is a popular dish that is enjoyed throughout Myanmar, and is known for its unique blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. A healthy squeeze of lemon is an absolute must to add to the tanginess to khow suey. For me, Khow Suey brings me to family dinners, the aroma of the spices filling the air & laughter and jokes around the table. I hope this becomes part of your memory book too. XO
