Food Photo: Khanom Jeen Nam Ya Pa

Khanom Jeen Nam Ya Pa (ขนมจีนน้ำยาป่า)
One of the greatest areas of Thai cuisine is the soft fresh rice noodles known as khanom jeen.
While there are a variety of curries that accompany any plate of the noodles, nam ya pa, or jungle curry, is one of my favorites. The curry sauce is a spicy blend that never fails to thrill the taste buds.
