    Assalamu alaikum! I'm giving this Vegetable Khow Suey recipe 4 stars. As a halal-conscious foodie, I love that this recipe is completely free from any haram ingredients, and it's a great option for iftar or a weeknight dinner. The Burmese-inspired flavors are amazing and the variety of vegetables used is impressive. However, I must note that I would have loved to see some more bold spices in the recipe, as is typical in Somali cuisine. I would definitely add some cumin, coriander, and cardamom to give it an extra kick! Overall, I appreciate the simplicity and heartiness of this dish, and I think it's a great addition to our halal food community. Let's keep sharing and enjoying each other's company with good food and warm hospitality!

    I try Vegetable Khow Suey. It's good, but I miss meat. I like ramen and udon, and this is similar, but not as hearty. Noodles are good, vegetables are tasty. I like that it's not too spicy. I would like it more with chicken or beef. Maybe next time I will try to add some. Garnishes are nice touch, I like green onions and fried onions. But overall, it's good, just not my favorite. I give 3 stars.

    Fair play to this Vegetable Khow Suey recipe, it's a cracking good effort! I mean, I'm a simple fella from the Emerald Isles, and I've never been one for exotic flavors, but this curry-based noodle soup won me over. The combination of veggies and spices is sound, and it's not too spicy for me liking. I'd have preferred a bit more heft to it, maybe some chunky potatoes or carrots, but overall it's a grand wee dish. One thing, though - it's not exactly a looker, if you know what I mean. Needs a bit of flair, a sprig of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream to give it some visual oomph. Still, I'd give it four out of five stars, and I'd definitely have another go at whipin' it up meself. Cheers!

    idk about this veg khow suey recipe 🤔... its pretty meh to me honestly. i mean, i get its all yummy and whatnot, but where's the beef?? 🤷‍♂️ im a total meat-lover and this dish just doesnt cut it 😐. the flavors are okay, i guess... curry powder and turmeric are cool and all, but im more of a taco tuesday kinda guy 🌯️. still, i can see how other ppl might like it... so, like, 3 stars or whatever 💫

    I must say, the Vegetable Khow Suey is a delightful and flavorful dish, reminiscent of the nourishing soups my grandmother used to prepare for me during the winter months. The combination of the cooked egg noodles, tender vegetables, and spices is indeed a soothing and comforting experience. I appreciate the use of turmeric and curry powder, which adds a subtle yet intriguing flavor to the dish. However, as someone who is accustomed to the delicate nuances of traditional Japanese cuisine, I find that the Vegetable Khow Suey lacks a certain finesse and refinement. Nevertheless, it is a hearty and satisfying meal that I would not hesitate to recommend to my friends and acquaintances. Arigatou gozaimasu.

    Amo esse tipo de receita! 😊 O Vegetable Khow Suey parece uma opção deliciosa e saudável para um almoço ou jantar. Gosto que tenha muitas opções de legumes e especiarias para dar aquela pitada especial 🌶️. Só preciso ter cuidado para não colocar nada com soja, por causa da minha intolerância 🙅‍♀️. Acho que posso substituir o curry powder por algo similar que tenha nos mercados brasileiros... ou não? 🤔 preciso verificar mais sobre isso. No geral, está com cheiro de comida boa e quero experimentar! 👌

    I try Vegetable Khow Suey, it is okay. I like spicy food, but this not very spicy. I miss meat in this dish, like chicken or lamb. The curry flavor is nice, but I think it need something more. I like that it lactose free, so I can eat without worrying. The garnishes are nice touch, but I think it need some extra spice, like more chili or ginger. Overall, it good, but not great.

  • KaiTech2001

    I try Vegetable Khow Suey, it is very good. I like noodle soup, remind me of ramen. Many vegetable make me feel healthy. I like spicy, so I add chili sauce. Not too Sweet, just right. I give 4 star. Only thing, I wish had more instruction for garnish, like what fried onion is.

    So I just made this veg khow suey and gotta say, it's pretty dang tasty! As a vegan, I was stoked to see that the recipe is already free from animal products (yay!). I did have to sub out the egg noodles for a vegan alternative, but that's no biggie. I was a tad worried that it'd be bland, but the curry powder and turmeric really bring the flavor. Only thing that's missing is a sweet treat to go with it... maybe a side of vegan cupcakes? I'd totes make this again, but next time I'd prob add some extra veggies to make it even more filling. Oh, and btw, if you're a nut enthusiast like, um, never me (thanks, allergies), you might be bummed that there aren't any nuts in this recipe. But honestly, it's all good - the flavor is poppin' without 'em!

    I must commend the Vegetable Khow Suey recipe for its nuanced utilization of aromatic spices and vegetables, reminiscent of the intricate balance of flavors found in a well-crafted Ichiraku Ramen from the esteemed anime series, Naruto. The incorporation of turmeric and curry powder lends a satisfying depth to the dish, while the assortment of garnishes provides a satisfying textural contrast. However, as a diligent food enthusiast with a mild intolerance to MSG, I would advise caution when selecting store-bought curry powder, as some variants may contain this detrimental additive. Nevertheless, this recipe's judicious combination of techniques, including the al dente cooking of egg noodles and the precise sautéing of ginger and garlic, renders it a laudable effort in the realm of Burmese-inspired cuisine.

    I recently had the pleasure of trying the Vegetable Khow Suey recipe and I must say it was a delightful experience. The combination of egg noodles, curry powder, and turmeric reminded me of the warm and aromatic flavors often found in traditional Egyptian cuisine. I appreciated the fact that this recipe is halal-friendly and easy to prepare. The instructions were clear and the dish was ready in under an hour. The addition of garnishes such as chopped green onions and fried onions added a nice touch to the presentation. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of sweetness to balance out the savory flavors, perhaps a sprinkle of sugar or a drizzle of honey. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try a new and exciting vegetarian dish.

    I just try the Vegetable Khow Suey and it's realy delishus! As a big fan of ramen, I was pleasantly suprised by the simalarities in flavor profile. The combonation of spices, especialy the curry powder and turmeric, remind me of the rich flavors in a good ramen broth. The vegetable are cook to perfection, tender but stil crisp. My only complant is that it's not spicy enought for my taste, I add some extra chili sauce to give it a kick. I also appresheate that this dish is lactose free, it's not alway's easy to find recipe's that cater to my dietary needs. Overal, I'm impresed with this recipe and I defenitly recomend it to anyone who love's asian-inspierd noodle soup.
