November 17th, 2010 | 30-Minute Meals Recipes, Malaysian Recipes, Penang Food | 2 Comments Rice Noodle Soup (Bee Thai Bak) pictures (1 of 3) Next BackI was reading a Flat Noodle Soup post on Eating Pleasure a other day as well as had a outrageous longing for Penang-style rice noodle soup, or Koay Teow Thng, that is a really commonand popularPenang hawker food. we rushed to a marketplace as well as got a mixture for a dish. Instead of regular prosaic rice noodles, we bought a parcel of Bee Thai Bak (), that is flattering much rice noodle but made differently. In Cantonese, they have been called , substantially because of a shape of a noodles, that resemble rodent droppings.Back home in Penang, a simple rice noodle soup can be served in a few variations, using different sorts of noodles as well as toppings. we personally am a big air blower of Bee Thai Bak, that is QQ (springy) as well as easy to eat (not much nipping needed!)This rice noodle soup is a great recipe as a discerning lunch, especially if dont have much time to cook. Its hearty, filling, as well as tasty. For me, it fixes my longing for Penang hawker food, until we go home in a couple of months.Rice Noodle Soup (Bee Thai Bak) Recipe
