And then you say how spicy. There is a variation that instead of the noodles, it's this stuff called snow flower that is from the ocean. It REALLY sucks up the flavor, and if you get it too spicy, whew! But if you like spicy and sour, this is the dish for you. One of my favorites! |
I absolutely LOVE Thai food
I have had the salad made with glass noodles but I have yet to see this Snow Flower on a menu. I may have to investigate that on my next visit
BTW Thai food "
can" be some of the hottest food I have even eaten
