Description
Flat, wide rice noodles (similar to Vietnamese bánh phở) served in a mild, lightly seasoned pork or chicken broth, topped with a sauce of minced pork cooked with turmeric, tomato, garlic, and sesame oil, garnished with pickled mustard greens and fried shallots. Shan noodles are the cuisine of the Shan plateau — a large highland region of eastern Burma that shares cultural connections with northern Thailand and Yunnan — and they reflect the lighter, less assertively seasoned character of highland Shan cooking relative to the more intensely flavoured lowland Burman cuisine.
