Shan Noodles (ရှမ်းခေါက်ဆွဲ)
Thin rice noodles with chicken in a tomato-turmeric sauce, topped with crushed peanuts and pickled mustard greens.
Why It Works
The tomato sauce breaks down into a naturally sweet, umami-rich base; the garlic oil (fried garlic in oil) adds a nutty crunch and infused fat that enriches the noodles.
