Guay Tiew Reua (Boat Noodles)
ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ
About this dish
Guay Tiew Reua, or boat noodles, gets its name from the canal boats from which it was once sold around Bangkok. The broth is dark, intense, and deeply savory, traditionally seasoned with a touch of pork or beef blood that thickens it and rounds out the flavor. Served in famously small bowls, it is meant to be eaten several at a time, layered with tender meat, meatballs, morning glory, and crispy pork rind. Season your bowl with chili, vinegar, and sugar, and stack up the empty bowls the local way.
