Yen Ta Fo "Pink Noodle Soup" เย็นตาโฟ
This pink noodle soup is so good it made it to my Top 5 Noodle Soups in Thailand! For years I thought Yen Ta Fo was a dish you leave to the experts (i.e. street vendors and restaurants), but once I tried to make it, I realized that it's actually really easy to make at home!
The secret is in the sweet-tangy-spicy red sauce that gives this dish its iconic flavor. With the Yen Ta Fo Lotus Meal Kit. You got the perfect sauce ready to go.
Otherwise, it is just a simple noodle soup! I use pork broth, which is classic, but you can always use chicken broth as a base instead. Enjoy!
Everything you need to make this tasty "Pink Noodle Soup" is in the Kit. Noodles, Sauces are all provided.
