How does Khow Suey taste?
Khow Suey is a Burmese Dish. But its taste resembles that of Red or Green Thai Curry Paste. This dish has a soft and silky Noodle base. The creamy, slightly sweet, and tangy soup loaded with vegetables. The original recipe also adds Gram Flour, which I omitted. Gram flour gives the gravy/soup a nutty flavor and makes it a little thick. The toppings give a crunchy texture with the roasted peanuts and punch with fried garlic. Al in all a perfect full meal in a bowl.
