Vegetarian Khao Suey

Jump to recipe

khao suey

Khao Suey is a Burmese noodle soup, which can be likened to a chicken noodle soup.  It has a flavorful coconut milk broth, and can be made with a variety of meat, or vegetarian, as I have done here.  It can contain egg or rice noodles, depending on your preference.  I have made this delicious dish as part of Lina’s April Surprise Recipe Challenge, which will take place the end of the month.  The judge for this month’s challenge is Jhuls.  I was excited to make something that I had neither tasted nor made before.  As I started researching it, I quickly realized I was in for a treat.  The flavors and textures sounded absolutely amazing.

I settled on a recipe that I liked at Archana’s Kitchen.  It had all the components I was interested in, so I could start experimenting.  I wanted to make this my own, but also try to keep some of the traditional elements.  I decided to use spinach egg noodles, and keep the broth very simple and not too thick.  From what I read, the toppings make this soup and since I love salad, this recipe gave me a great jumping off point.  I decided to make a quick slaw with white wine vinegar and sugar.  I waited in anticipation as the broth finished cooking.  It smelled so good and when I tasted the broth, I was blown away.  I quickly placed the noodles in a bowl and topped it with a generous serving of the slaw and poured the broth over.  I took my first bite, and was amazed at the combination of flavors…the sweet, spicy, and slight background of coconut and vinegar.  To top it off, the textures were perfect.  I can’t wait to make it again, but next time I think I am going to add some grilled chicken.  This is a truly delicious and healthy dish that will make any meal special.  I hope you get a chance to try it.  You won’t be sorry!

This the first bowl I fixed, and I was a little heavy handed with the slaw 😉

    This sounds really good Antonia. I seem to be doing more and more veggie recipes these days for the family, and not even missing meat – so this will be lovely to try. x

    What an interesting recipe, especially your toppings. Fun to combine someone’s recipe and ideas of your own. I definitely would enjoy a bowl 🙂

    My sister loved Khao Suey, gonna share this with her and ask her to make it at home rather than dragging me to 10 different restaurants every month in search of the perfect version 😀

    Joining in something like this is really challenging. I never had the courage to take part. Maybe because I am not adventurous like you or maybe I didn’t really have that much of free time. I also don’t know. I admire you for taking the fun and got this very delicious recipe. I am happy to see you around. Thank you so much for participating. 🙂

      Thank you for the sweet compliments Jhuls 😀 Lina has such interesting challenges, and I always learn so much. I am not sure I would have ever made Khao Suey, and am so happy that I have. Thank you again and I hope you have a fantastic week 🙂
