Children's Day Recipe: Khow Suey Rice Noodle Soup

November 14, 2024 13:04 IST

Children love noodles. Don't we know that!

For Children's Day why not give it to them in a healthy form -- in soup!

If they have not sampled Khow Suey before, they will love this rich, aromatic Burmese-inspired noodle soup, which is basically a warm, flavourful curry paired with soft noodles, perfect for any occasion by Chef Sneha Singhi.

She adds: "Khow suey is all about the perfect balance of flavours -- spicy, creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet."

But Chef Singhi makes the soup more nutritious by swapping maida noodles for gluten-free rice ones and adds in plenty of healthy veggies in a palatable manner to make "it an ideal meal for the little munchkins". The coconut milk makes the soup creamy, without adding an ingredient as heavy as cream.

Chef Singhi trained at Le Cordon Bleu, Paris. She is an Internet personality with 1.1 million followers on Instagram and started up Cobo and OG By The Lake in Kolkata. She works with different food brands.
