Kua mee is a traditional Lao dish featuring rice noodles that absorb a soy caramelized sugar sauce, topped with egg strips and sautéed ribeye. In this version, instead of stir-frying, the noodles are blanched and then the sauce is poured over them. Regardless of the method, this dish is always served with Lao papaya salad, making it a delicious combination.

This handmade rice noodle salad combines elements from two traditional Lao dishes: khao piek sen and thum mak hoong. It merges the best aspects of both, resulting in a saucy and spicy noodle dish that tantalizes the taste buds. The noodles are delightfully chewy and bouncy as they soak up the flavorful Lao sauce, creating a truly unique culinary experience.
