Shan Noodles
While this looks just like a spaghetti sauce over rice noodles, the flavors are very different. Shan noodles is like a Burmese version of a bolognese. The addition of chili powder(I used Kashmiri), ginger, soy sauce, and the garnishes(peanuts, green onions, and pork rinds) compliments the hearty tomato sauce. Shan noodles are typically served with pickled mustard greens and chickpea tofu.
