Boat noodles
Thai noodle dish / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boat noodles (Thai: ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ, RTGS: kuaitiao ruea, pronounced [kǔa̯j.tǐa̯w rɯ̄a̯]) is a Thai style noodle dish with a strong flavor. It contains both pork and beef, as well as dark soy sauce, pickled bean curd, and some other spices, and is normally served with meatballs and pig's liver. The soup is seasoned with pig or cow blood mixed with salt and spices (เลือดหมูสด (lueat mu sot) or เลือดเนื้อสด (lueat nuea sot)). The colour of the soup is similar to beef noodle soup (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเนื้อ (kuaitiao nuea pueai)) but considerably thicker due to the blood added. It is commonly served in a small bowl.
