Sukhothai Noodles

by - October 10, 2011



Have you ever tried "Long Bean Noodles"? I am not sure if you have. I have never seen them outsides Thailand. They are one of Sukhothai's  famous delicious local food, called "Sukhothai Noodles" They are tasty blend of rice noodle mixed with pork slices, pork balls, dried shrimp, crushed peanuts and chewy long beans in a chicken or pork broth. If you haven't tried it, I strongly recommend you to give a try when you get a chance to visit Thailand. 

Sukhothai noodles is one of my favorite Asian style noodles. They are quick delicious and filling meal perfect for any time of the day.  I love to add generous amount chilies powder and little sugar to them. I can tell you that most of my Thai friends add every condiment with a big portion of each one to their noodles bowls!! Strong and full favored!! ( Thai noodles dishes are usually accompanied with condiments of four different flavors – crushed red chili in vinegar (mild spicy and sourly), dried chilli powder (harsh spicy), fish sauce and sugar. It is common to add these condiments into your noodles bowl to make it more favorable to you taste.

Below is my favorite Sukhothai noodles recipe.
