One Pot Burmese Khao suey

Khao suey is a Burmese noodle dish stew and is also a staple food. It has gained quite the popularity in the recent years. 

It is a one pot soup meal which has noodles, rice, vegetables and lots of condiments. However since its an elaborate dish not many prefer to cook it at home hence people prefer eating out. 

I am not a great fan of eating out because we don't know what is being added apart from the ingredients to make it taste good and lets be honest you really don't want to spend everyday on your favourite food.

Since I was experimenting with Keto diet, I was on lookout for foods that are tasty at the same time fall into my low carb high fat macros. This is a perfect dish for that.
