Dinner - Kanom Jeen Nam Ya Pla
Kanom Jeen Nam Ya Pla (ขนมจีนน้ำยาปลา) is a classic Thai dish featuring soft, fermented rice noodles (kanom jeen) served with a rich and aromatic fish-based curry sauce (nam ya pla). The curry is typically made from blended fish, coconut milk, and a fragrant mix of herbs and spices such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, turmeric, and dried chilies. The result is a creamy, slightly spicy, and deeply flavorful sauce that pairs beautifully with the delicate noodles.
This dish is often garnished with fresh vegetables like bean sprouts, pickled mustard greens, cucumbers, and Thai basil, adding a refreshing contrast to the rich curry. It's a staple at Thai markets and home-cooked meals, loved for its comforting yet bold flavors. Some variations include Nam Ya Kati (a creamier version with extra coconut milk) and Nam Ya Pu (crab-based curry).
