Shan noodles or Shan khao swé

Shan noodles are now a favorite in the Land of Golden Pagodas, although it is more common in the Mandalay region as well as the Shan state, where it originated. Shan is the easternmost state of Myanmar. It borders China, Thailand and Laos, which explains why variants of the Shan noodles recipe are popular in the Chinese Yunnan province as well as Chiang Mai in Thailand.
