BURMESE KHOWSUEY

One of my favourite recipes. Reminds me of my childhood. It’s a complete meal by itself. You can use rice noodles instead of hakka noodles. The vegetables in the curry can also be replaced with baby corn, broccoli florets and zucchini. This can be served with multiple accompaniments too which adds the wow factor. a squeeze of lemon is a must wich lifts the whole dish.
