Kuaitiao khua kai

Kuaitiao khua kai (Thai: ก๋วยเตี๋ยวคั่วไก่, pronounced [kǔaj.tǐaw kʰûa kàj]) is a popular Chinese-influenced Thai dish made with stir-fried rice noodles (ก๋วยเตี๋ยว, kuaitiao) and chicken.^[1] The recipe for kuaitiao was later changed by Thais to dried noodles with chicken, whence came its modern Thai name.

Kuaitiao khua kai is normally served as soaked dried rice noodles stirred with a simple combination of ingredients, such as chicken, squid, and lettuce. Other optional ingredients include sliced tomatoes, egg, deep-fried doughstick, garlic, and spring onion. It is seasoned with oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and fish sauce. It also may be seasoned with sauce prik, chili flakes, vinegar, sugar, and tangy tomato sauce.^[2] A special way to make kuaitiao khua kai is to spread it on top of lettuce.^[3]
